{"product_id":"philoctetes-book-watercolour-illustration-sophocles","title":"Philoctetes Book Watercolour Illustration by Sophocles","description":"\u003cp\u003eIt starts on a beach. Philoctetes by Sophocles keeps you there, on a rough shore with a young man who is trying to act older than he is. Neoptolemus speaks softly to a wounded stranger and you feel the lie sitting between them. This is classic literature, but it reads dark and close, more like a held breath than a speech. Odysseus is never far, and the pain in Philoctetes' foot comes in sudden waves that break up every calm moment. By the end you are tired in the way the characters are. This book watercolour illustration is an edge-to-edge watercolour with the lettering over soft washes, and it suits a study.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis watercolour illustration of Philoctetes 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.
