Chapter 3 investigates a group of icons depicting the Virgin and Child that have been occasionally ascribed to Cyprus and present something of a thirteenth-century conundrum.
Chapter 1 provides a survey of documentary evidence for the presence of Italians in Cyprus, and of Cypriots in Italy, during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries.
Chapter 5 explores the peregrinations of iconic King of Cyprus, Peter I Lusignan, in Italy, and his Crusader propaganda in the chapter house of Santa Maria Novella in Florence.
Chapter 6 probes a unique but understudied hybrid series of icons preserved in the Chapel of the Holy Cross in Pelendri, created by Venetian painters working on the island.
Chapter 2 examines the visual culture that stems from the creative dialogue between Byzantine art and other Christian artistic idioms in the Levant and southern Italy in the thirteenth century.
The Prologue makes a critical appraisal of the topic by first looking at the wider negotiations between Italian and Byzantine arts, followed by a literature review on Italy and Cyprus.
