Lord Byron MANFRED AND ASTARTE Art by Emanuel Krescenc Liska 1902 Antique Print
This is an illustration / print that has been taken from a book dated 1902 and is ready for framing. Measures approximately 11 x 8 1/2 inches. There is an image text summary on the attached rice paper.
Manfred is a Faustian noble living in the Bernese Alps. Internally tortured by some mysterious guilt, which has to do with the death of his most beloved, Astarte, he uses his mastery of language and spell-casting to summon seven spirits, from whom he seeks forgetfulness. The spirits, who rule the various components of the corporeal world, are unable to control past events and thus cannot grant Manfred's plea. For some time, fate prevents him from escaping his guilt through suicide. At the end, Manfred dies, defying religious temptations of redemption from sin. Throughout the poem he succeeds in challenging all of the authoritative powers he faces, and chooses death over submitting to the powerful spirits.
