"The Voice of the Ancient Bard" is an illuminated page from William Blake's "Songs of Experience", a collection of poetry he created between 1789 and 1825. The artwork depicts a bard playing a harp to a group of people, illustrating the poem's themes of experience, truth, and the dangers of folly. Blake's characteristically vibrant colors and detailed figures add to the lyrical and evocative nature of this intimate work of art.
