Astarte
Fine art etching, This artwork is an etching by the French artist Henri Fantin-Latour, titled
Manfred et Astarté.
The print, created in 1892, is a lithograph depicting a scene from Lord Byron's dramatic poem Manfred. In the poem, the protagonist Manfred summons the spirit of his lost love, Astarté, which is the ethereal figure seen floating on the left. The kneeling figure is Manfred, who has sought to see her one last time. The artwork is part of a series Fantin-Latour created that was inspired by music and literature, particularly the works of composers like Hector Berlioz and Richard Wagner, and poets like Lord Byron.
