English-Dutch-French text. Exhibition held at Bozar, Brussels. Summary: The exhibition Mapping Cyprus. Crusaders, Merchants and Explorers (Centre for Fine Arts, Brussels) traces the cultural history of Cyprus, an island which has been under Byzantine, Frankish, Venetian, Ottoman and British rule. The atypical position of the island, situated at the eastern end of the Mediterranean and at the crossroads of three continents, has encouraged the establishment of a unique heritage. Manuscripts, paintings, maps, prints and icons reflect these constant exchanges between Europe and the Middle East. The exhibition gives particular attention to the medieval era, the Lusignan dynasty, the Venetian period and finally to sacred art, represented here through more than fifty icons, most of which are leaving the island for the first time.
