Manuel Comnène
Illustration for a poster based in the french translation of Kavafy's poem "Manuel Komnenos".
The poem describes the "Dreary September day" that "Emperor Manuel Komninos / felt his death was near..."
A contemporary approach to a theme originally taken from the Byzantine history through the eyes of a 20th century poet. Elements of the byzantine iconography (colours, shapes, lack of perspective) were eclectically taken.
THANK YOU!
