Christ, shown frontally with a halo, sits with His disciples around a round table. At the center, He points to the lamb placed on a platter. In the foreground, seen from behind, Judas turns his face toward the viewer while hiding the money pouch in his left hand behind his body. Two attendants—possibly slaves—wearing Phrygian caps serve the meal. Behind them rise three rows of spiral columns and a staircase. Above, in a second scene, Christ kneels to wash the apostles’ feet before a half‑open double door.

Illustration of the fable The Donkey Laden with Salt and the Donkey Laden with Sponges. In the foreground, the donkey carrying the sponges is drowning in the river—only its profile head is visible—while the donkey‑driver, shown in profile, embraces its neck. On the bank behind them stands the donkey laden with salt, also in profile, its head turned as it looks toward the scene.

Set against a background of geometric, abstract surfaces composed of fine parallel and cross‑hatched lines, with stars placed in the corners, a nude reclining woman appears at the center of an eye‑like form, surrounded by radiating lines. She supports herself on her elbows, and the navel and one nipple are rendered in stark white, standing out against the darker tones of the composition.

In the sea, above a stony seabed and surrounded by water rendered in geometric forms, a mermaid swims. Only the human parts of her body are shown—the hands, which have fin‑like fingers, and the breasts—while the rest of her form is that of a fish.

A view of a mosque in Cyprus, located near the great church. The building was constructed during the Ottoman period, directly beside the Cathedral of Saint Nicholas, which was also converted into a mosque.

They evoke the region’s illustrious distant past while also recalling the more recent Venetian period, which ended with the Ottoman siege of the city. In the foreground, set among rich vegetation, an ancient sarcophagus is visible along with a group of women—Turkish women and a Greek woman with...

A scene showing part of Larnaca, viewed from the Venetian Consulate. Buildings and rich vegetation surround a small lake, likely one of the marshes for which Larnaca was known during the Ottoman period. Flags of various consulates are visible, reflecting the city’s role at the time as the seat of all foreign diplomatic missions. Around the lake, a few figures in Ottoman dress can be seen.

Titled, Ruins of the Monastery of Kazzafani on the Island of Cyprus. View of an ancient sarcophagus located in the cloister. The ancient sarcophagus—still standing in the same place today—occupies a prominent position in the scene, serving as a direct reference to the Greco‑Roman past of the region and forming a meaningful dialogue with the site’s later medieval history. The abbey, illuminated through a large window that highlights its Gothic details, evokes the period of Frankish rule. Through this window, the distant landscape reveals the peaks of the Pentadaktylos mountains. The pediment...
