In this volume Anthi Andronikou explores the social, cultural,
religious and trade encounters between Italy and Cyprus during the
late Middle Ages, from ca. 1200 -1400, and situates them within
several Mediterranean contexts. Revealing the complex artistic
exchange between the two regions for the first time, she probes the
rich but neglected cultural interaction through comparison of the
intriguing thirteenth-century wall paintings in rock-cut churches
of Apulia and Basilicata, the puzzling panels of the Madonna della
Madia and the Madonna di Andria, and painted chapels in Cyprus,
Lebanon, and Syria. Andronikou also investigates fourteenth-century
cross-currents that have not been adequately studied, notably the
cult of Saint Aquinas in Cyprus, Crusader propaganda in Santa Maria
Novella in Florence, and a unique series of icons crafted by
Venetian painters working in Cyprus. Offering new insights into
Italian and Byzantine visual cultures, her book contributes to a
broader understanding of cultural production and worldviews of the
medieval Mediterranean.
