Recto / Verso: From Byzantium to Modernism
The exhibition under the title «Recto / Verso: From Byzantium to Modernism" opens its doors on March 20 at Evagoras Lanitis Centre in Limassol.
The exhibition focuses on the two-sided icons (Recto/Verso), which bear representations of the Virgin with Child at their front side and the Crucifxion at their back. It hosts hagiographic treasures from churches and monasteries of the Limassol diocese, covering a wide stylistic and chronological spectrum spanning from the twelfth to the nineteenth century as well as works by contemporary Cypriot artists, reinterpreting the Byzantine iconography of the Mother of God and the Passion Cycle through the perspectives of Modernism.
