This masterpiece of Adolphe William Bouguereau was created in 1874. It depicts the blind master-poet of Ancient Greece being guided through the paths of the country-side by his sighted boy-guide. In the background figures scoff at the author of the Iliad and the Odyssey. This work is in the Milwaukee Art Museum in Wisconsin, USA.
