{"product_id":"symposium-book-watercolour-illustration-plato","title":"The Symposium Book Watercolour Illustration by Plato","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 385 BC, when Plato wrote The Symposium, Athens had lost a war and had already put Socrates to death. The philosophy that follows reads as a memory of a better evening, and a faintly sad one. It begins as light talk among friends and moves toward something calmer and more serious. Aristophanes brings laughter, Phaedrus brings enthusiasm, Agathon brings polish, and Socrates brings a stillness that slowly settles the room. By the end you feel slightly awake and slightly tired, like the guests at dawn. This book watercolour illustration is an edge-to-edge watercolour with the lettering over soft washes, and suits a reading nook.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis watercolour illustration of The Symposium 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.
