Traveling from one village to another, with tales of kings, warriors, and mythical animals found in mysterious lands, bards in medieval Europe carried with them a promise of wonderment.
The image of a bard playing his lute popularized by Renaissance and Baroque art, has been around since the ancient period, as seen in the sculptures of Gandhara!

As he begins to strum the lute, a world of amazement begins to emerge, represented by the forest that appears to be blossoming around him, a hint at the romanticism of the bard’s mystical lores.
