PAFOS2017

Maniera Cypria: 13th century icons in

Cyprus The exhibition highlights the production of iconography in Cyprus during the 13th century and its Eastern and Western influences. During that time, Constantinople was under Latin rule and after the issuing of the Bulla Cypria mandate, the Church of Cyprus was placed under the Pope of Rome. This period is of paramount importance for the Byzantine art of Cyprus. The multicultural environment created on the island during the 1st century of the Frankish rule, the presence of the Latin Church, the artists coming to the island from the West, as well as the refugees from Syria and Palestine are all factors which influenced Cypriot iconography. The art of the time is a continuation of the rich Byzantine tradition of the period after

Isaac Komninos, combining western and eastern elements. Venue: Byzantine Museum (Arch. Kyprianos Square, next to the Archbishop’s Palace) Opening Hours: 09:00 – 16:00

ONGOING till MON, 4 SEPTEMBER

Solomos Frangoulides: The Artist – The Art

Critic This exhibition presents Solomos Fragoulides, one of the pioneering painters of the first generation of Modern Cypriot Art, not only as a painter but also as a critic of art.

The museographic approach and the selection of Fragoulides' works and texts help the visitor to reach the goals of this pioneering exhibition, while at the same time it contributes to the formation of new ways of understanding the work of Frangoulidis from the point of view of his time. Venue: A. G.

“Amathous of Cyprus, a city most ancient” Amathous is one of the most interesting city-kingdoms of ancient Cyprus. On the occasion of 40 years of excavations (1975–2015) of the French Archaeological Mission of Amathous, the Department of Antiquities in collaboration with the French School at Athens, is organizing this exhibition that covers a large chronological period, from prehistory to the first centuries of the Christian period. The exhibits are presented in four different thematic entities, which narrate the history of the city and the region of Amathous by providing information on public and private life, rituals, burial customs and commercial or cultural exchanges. The exhibition includes a brief reference to legends and traditions and the fact that the inhabitants of Lemesos, at least from the

medieval period until today, refer to Amathous as “Palia Lemesos”, thus keeping alive the memory of the important city of ancient Cyprus, which was in fact the predecessor of the modern city of Limassol.
