1792 1822 Bysshe Percy Romantic Shelley
EDITORS COMMENTS
Percy Bysshe Shelley, the English romantic poet, is depicted in this portrait taken at the Beyerhaus in Vienna, Austria, in 1822. Shelley, born on August 4, 1792, was a leading figure in the Romantic literary movement of the 19th century. Known for his radical ideas, free-thinking philosophy, and poetic masterpieces, Shelley's works continue to inspire and captivate readers around the world. This photograph, taken during Shelley's European exile, offers a rare glimpse into the life of the enigmatic poet. Shelley and his wife, Mary Shelley, had been living in Italy since 1818, but were forced to leave following the publication of Shelley's controversial poem, "The Cenci." Seeking refuge in Vienna, they were welcomed into the home of Baron von Beyer, a wealthy Austrian patron of the arts. The Beyerhaus, located in the heart of Vienna, was a gathering place for artists, writers, and intellectuals. Shelley's presence there added to the already vibrant cultural scene. This portrait, taken during his time at the Beyerhaus, captures Shelley in a contemplative moment, deep in thought, perhaps reflecting on his literary pursuits or the tumultuous events of his life. The romantic poet's time in Vienna was brief, but it provided him with a much-needed respite from the constant persecution and scandal that followed him. Shelley's stay at the Beyerhaus marked the beginning of a new chapter in his life, one that would ultimately lead him back to England and a renewed appreciation for his literary genius. This photograph is a testament to the enduring legacy of Percy Bysshe Shelley and his place in literary history. It offers a glimpse into the life of a man who defied convention, challenged societal norms, and left an indelible mark on the English language through his poetic masterpieces.
