{"product_id":"golden-ass-book-watercolour-illustration-apuleius","title":"The Golden Ass Book Watercolour Illustration by Apuleius","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the 2nd century, when Rome ruled most of the known world, Apuleius wrote The Golden Ass for readers who wanted a good tale and a laugh. It is classic literature that keeps you slightly off balance. The mood is mischievous at first, with Lucius blundering into magic and Photis laughing at his mistake. Then it turns rougher, with beatings and bandits, before it settles into something close to awe. Cupid and Psyche arrive as a calm interval in the middle. Through it all, the narrator sounds amused at his own misfortune. This book watercolour illustration is an edge-to-edge watercolour with the lettering over soft washes, and suits a reading room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis watercolour illustration of The Golden Ass steps out of the gallery and into the story — soft colour washes behind the title, with crisp lettering emerging through a brushed halo. Romantic, atmospheric, a little dreamy. Book illustration art made for reading nooks, nurseries, and walls that quietly wish they were a library.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e✦ Available in three paper finishes: matte, satin, or gloss\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrinted to order on 200gsm museum-grade paper.
