Thomas Cole, 1833 - Scene from Byron’s “Manfred” - fine art print

Supplemental information by Yale University Art Gallery (© Copyright - by Yale University Art Gallery - Yale University Art Gallery)

Landscape plays an integral role in this dramatic scene from Lord Byron’s “Manfred,” written around 1816. In the poem, Manfred stands at the edge of a spectacular waterfall, summoning “the Spirit of the place,” in the form of a beautiful Witch of the Alps. Although Thomas Cole omits the figure of Manfred, the ethereal female figure rises from the water’s spray beneath a rainbow, personifying the loveliness of nature. Cole described paintings like this one as “a higher style of landscape,” works that meld idealized views with literary and historic content.
