From 1884 until 1886, József Rippl-Rónai studied at the
Academy in Munich. In 1887 he moved to Paris where he worked for two years
as assistant to Mihály Muncácsy. In 1889 he attended the
Acádemie Julian. In 1893, he was included in the fifth exhibition
organised by the Nabis (Galerie Le Barc de Boutteville). His painting
entitled "Grandmother" (exhibited in the Salon de Champ
de Mars) was well received in the French press. Soon afterwards Revue
Blanc invited him to participate and he became a close friend of Maillol,
Bonnard, Vuillard and Denis. In 1895, he published four of his lithographs
entitled "Les vierges".
