Abstract
The purpose of this article is to examine the term ‘maniera Cypria’ which was coined by Doula Mouriki to describe the thirteenth-century icon painting on the island of Cyprus. The term refers to the stylistic appearance of icons and derives from a treatment of the art of the island in traditional art historical framework. It is suggested that an alternative approach which takes into account a broader set of considerations does not support such a basic regional characterisation of the icon painting on Cyprus.
