{"product_id":"first-principles-framed-canvas-art-classical-philosophy-wall-decor","title":"First Principles Framed Canvas – Classical Philosophy Art","description":"\u003cp\u003eStrip an argument back far enough and you reach the propositions that cannot be derived from anything else. Aristotle called them the first things known in themselves, and the method he built on them — reason up from what cannot be broken down further, not sideways from what everyone assumes — is still the most useful idea in the Organon. The \u003cstrong\u003eFirst Principles Framed Canvas\u003c\/strong\u003e gives that discipline a form, as classical philosophy wall art with a marble figure at its centre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe statue stands against a muted black ground, flanked by drawn architectural motifs and a line of gold-accented type. The gold is warm and slightly tarnished rather than bright, so the piece sits with wood, brass and leather instead of fighting them. Nothing about the composition is loud; it takes a wall without dominating the room it is in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStudies and offices are the obvious homes for it. It also works in an entrance hall, where a single square print above a console table does more than a row of small frames.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIdeal For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStudies, home libraries and home offices\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEntrance halls and landings above a console table\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngineers, founders and anyone who reasons from the ground up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClassical and academic gallery walls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInteriors in wood, brass, leather and stone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFramed matte canvas print with a low-glare finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCotton-polyester canvas with a proprietary matte coating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreenguard Gold certified latex inks, non-toxic and fade-resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStretched on a radial pine frame from FSC-certified, sustainably sourced wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlim 1.25″ frame depth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEleven square sizes from 6″ × 6″ to 36″ × 36″\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour frame colours: Black, Espresso, White and Natural\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSawtooth hanging hardware fitted; arrives ready to hang\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare Instructions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA dry, soft cloth is enough for routine dusting.
