"Astarte Syriaca" is a painting by the English Pre-Raphaelite artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti, completed in 1877. The work is a richly symbolic representation of the ancient goddess Astarte, a deity associated with love, fertility, and war, who was worshipped in various forms throughout the ancient Near East, including by the Phoenicians, Syrians, and Canaanites. Rossetti's depiction is part of his broader fascination with mythological and medieval subjects, which he often infused with his own poetic and romantic sensibilities.

The painting features a powerful and enigmatic female figure at its center, set against a dark, starry background. Astarte is portrayed with an aura of majesty and sensuality, her gaze commanding and inscrutable. She is flanked by two attendant female figures, and the composition is replete with symbolic elements, including a silver star on her forehead, which signifies her celestial nature, and a torch, which may represent both enlightenment and destruction.

Rossetti's "Astarte Syriaca" is notable for its lush color palette, intricate detail, and the blending of classical iconography with the artist's own imaginative interpretation. The painting reflects Rossetti's interest in exploring themes of beauty and desire, as well as the intersection of the mortal and the divine. It is considered one of the key works of Rossetti's later period and a significant example of Pre-Raphaelite art's enduring legacy.

The painting is held in the collection of Manchester Art Gallery, where it continues to be studied and admired for its aesthetic qualities and its place within the broader context of 19th-century British art. "Astarte Syriaca" has been the subject of scholarly analysis and interpretation, contributing to discussions about the role of myth in art, the portrayal of female figures in Victorian culture, and Rossetti's own artistic and poetic vision.
