Description
“It [Cyprus] was not merely a melting pot, since it exerted a reflex influence on the mainland. The importance of the cultural history of Cyprus lies in this adaptation to native canons of foreign styles, which produces a local commentary on the contemporary art of the eastern Mediterranean. More than this, the island was ground upon which Cretan and Hellene could meet Asia on intimate terms, a meeting to which Greek culture ultimately owed much.” – J.R. Stewart in A.D. Trendall & J.R. Stewart, Handbook to the Nicholson Museum (Sydney 1948, 2nd ed.), 118-119
