Stories Behind Art on Instagram: "Created in 1892, Gerald Moira's painting "The Silent Voice" is a mesmerizing work that combines the ethereal qualities of the Pre-Raphaelite style with a deep, contemplative mood. This painting is a visual interpretation of a stanza from Alfred, Lord Tennyson’s poem "The Two Voices," which addresses themes of pride and the vastness of the world:

“Thereto the silent voice replied;
Self-blinded are you by your pride:
Look up thro’ night: the world is wide.”

The painting's subdued palette and soft lighting enhance the emotional depth of the scene, drawing viewers into the silent and contemplative world of the subject.
