La Escuela De Platón

Sinopsis del libro

The unprepared visitor of the Orsay Museum in Paris usually receives a more or less pleasant shock upon finding in the hall of the symbolists the enormous painting The School of Plato.

Is this a merciful blasphemy or simply a whim? The painting was made in 1898 by a relatively unknown Belgian symbolist, Jean Delville, who was a very curious man, a fanatic of idealism in artistic representation and friend of figures halfway between necromancy and Dandyism, such as Villiers de IIsle Adam or Sâr Peladan.
