‎Art and Archaeology of Lusignan and Venetian Cyprus (1192-1571). Recent Research and New Discoveries‎

‎, Brepols, 2019 Paperback, iv + 441 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:202 b/w, 16 col., 4 tables b/w., Languages: English, French. ISBN 9782503578033.‎

‎Summary From a Byzantine province to an independent Latin kingdom under the Lusignan dynasty (11929/27-1474/89) and a colonial outpost of the Venetian maritime empire (1474/89-1571), the island of Cyprus, at the eastern end of the Mediterranean, is blessed with a rich and diverse medieval cultural heritage. Its monumental art and its material culture - architecture, fresco and icon painting, woodcarving, metalwork, glazed ceramics, and so on - exist at the crossroads of several artistic traditions often thought to represent mutually exclusive visual languages, such as the late medieval Gothic and Byzantine styles (in their respective variants), the local art of the Levant, and the classicizing mode of the Italian Renaissance. It is precisely this seemingly 'composite' nature of medieval Cypriot artistic production that, over the years, has both divided and united scholars attempting to match styles and forms to the patronage of the various religious, ethnic, and linguistic groups (Latins, Greeks, Syrians, Armenians, and others) making up the island's complex social fabric. The seventeen essays in this volume offer a snapshot of the most recent scholarship on the art, archaeology, and material culture of Cyprus under Latin rule. Established and emerging art historians and archaeologists, both trained Byzantinists and specialists of European medieval art, come together to re-appraise the field in the light of current research, put forward new evidence from fresh archival, archaeological, or archaeometric research, and propose novel interpretations destined to blaze exciting new pathways to future study of this fascinating body of material.

‎Chypre se situe a l'extreme est de la mer Mediterranee, au carrefour de trois continents : l'Europe, l'Asie et l'Afrique. Autrefois, l'ile etait a la fois une pomme de discorde et un refuge pour l'Est byzantin, l'Occident latin et le monde arabe. Apres sa conquete par Richard Coeur de Lion, les Lusignans, les Venitiens, les Ottomans et les Britanniques se sont succede au pouvoir. Mapping Cyprus (1192-2012) se penche sur l'ile tant convoitee de Chypre a travers les yeux des artistes, ecrivains, pelerins et voyageurs europeens. Notamment la periode franque de Lusignan pendant les croisades est illustree par des personnages de legende comme la princesse Melusine. C'est l'illumination d'un episode de l'histoire de l'Europe qui frappe les imaginations et qui etait aussi determinante pour l'identite de Chypre, entree en 2004 dans l'Union europeenne et qui en assumera la Presidence en 2012. Musique, mots, multimedia et art contemporain donnent vie a une suite d'icones et autres tresors artistiques. L'exposition explore cette plaque tournante des cultures, avec tous les conflits et echanges qui la caracterisent. Le present de l'ile divisee est egalement mis sous les projecteurs. Cyprus ligt in de uiterst oostelijke uithoek van de Middellandse Zee. Drie continenten komen er samen: Europa, Azie en Afrika. Het eiland vormde een twistappel en een toevluchtsoord voor het Byzantijnse Oosten, het Latijnse Westen en de Arabische wereld. Na de verovering door Richard Leeuwenhart hadden de Lusignans, Venetianen, Ottomanen en Britten afwisselend de macht in handen. Mapping Cyprus (1192- 2012) bekijkt de begeerde bruid Cyprus door de ogen van Europese kunstenaars, schrijvers, pelgrims en reizigers. Vooral de Frankische Lusignan periode ten tijde van de kruisvaarders wordt belicht, met fabelachtige figuren als de prinses Melusine. Een illuminatie dus van een tot de verbeelding sprekend stukje Europese geschiedenis en sterk bepalend voor de identiteit van Cyprus dat in 2004 toetrad tot de Europese Unie en in 2012 het Voorzitterschap op zich neemt. Een reeks iconen en andere kunstschatten komt tot leven in samenspraak met muziek, woord, multimedia en hedendaagse kunst. De tentoonstelling dringt diep door in het knooppunt van culturen, met alle conflicten en uitwisselingen van dien. Tegelijk komt het heden van dit verdeelde eiland in het vizier. Cyprus is situated in the far eastern extremity of the Mediterranean Sea, where the three continents of Europe, Asia, and Africa are neighbours. The island has been both a bone of contention and a place of refuge for the Byzantine East, the Latin West, and the Arab world. After its conquest by Richard the Lionheart, power there was held at different times by the Lusignan dynasty, the Venetians, the Ottomans, and the British. Mapping Cyprus (1192-2012) looks at the coveted land of Cyprus through the eyes of European artists, writers, pilgrims, and travellers. Above all light is shed on the Frankish Lusignan period at the time of the crusaders and such fabled figures as Princess Melusyne.An illumination therefore of an evocative period of European history that was very determining for the identity of Cyprus that joined the European Union in 2004 and will be holding the EU presidency in 2012. A series of icons and other art treasures are brought to life in a dialogue with music, words, multimedia presentations, and contemporary art. The exhibition takes an in-depth look at this crossroads of cultures and at the conflicts and exchanges that have shaped it, while also focusing on today's divided island.‎

‎Crusading, Society, and Politics in the Eastern Mediterranean in the Age of King Peter I of Cyprus‎

‎Summary The King of Cyprus, Peter I of Lusignan (1359-1369), was one of the most fascinating figures in the history of the Latin East and the later crusades. He was involved in European power politics, his crusading activities brought him into conflict with the Turkish beyliks of Anatolia and the Mamluk sultanate of Egypt, and his rule was closely linked with broader developments in the Eastern Mediterranean, such as the decay of Byzantium, the East-West schism, and the beginning of the Ottoman expansion in the Balkans. His adventurous life constitutes a captivating case study of court life, feudal and chivalric ethos, and political culture in the fourteenth century. This volume investigates developments in the Eastern Mediterranean before and during the reign of Peter I from a comparative perspective. It consists of five parts, which treat the political, diplomatic, and ecological context of the crusading movement in the time between the fall of Acre (1291) and the sack of Alexandria (1365), Peter I's crusading policy and the Alexandrian crusade, Cypriot society and court life in the time of Peter I, the situation in Muslim-Turkish Anatolia, the second target of King Peter's crusading policy, and, finally, Byzantium, its encounter with the Turks, the schism of the Churches, and theological trends in the time of the Hesychast Controversy.
