Von Piloty was born in Munich. He was the son of Ferdi- nand Piloty (d. 1844), a lithographer of great repute. In 1840 Von Piloty enrolled as a student at the Munich Academy, under the artists Schorn and Schnorr. After a journey to Belgium, France and England, he commenced work as a painter of genre pictures, and in 1853 produced the work Die Amme (The Wet Nurse), which, on ac- count of its originality of style, caused a considerable sen- sation in Germany at the time. But he soon forsook this branch of painting in favour of historical subjects, and in 1854 produced The Accession of Maximilian I to the Catholic League in 1609 for King Maximilian II. It was succeeded by Seni at the Dead Body of Wallenstein (1855), which gained him membership of the Munich Academy, where he succeeded Schorn (his brother-in-law) as professor. Among other well-known works by Piloty are the Battle of the White Mountain near Prague, Nero Dancing upon the Ruins of Rome (1861), Godfrey of Bouillon on a Pilgrim- age to the Holy Land (1861), Galileo in Prison (1864) and The Death of Alexander the Great (unfinished), his last great work. He also executed a number of mural paintings for the royal palace in Munich. In 1874 he was appointed keeper of the Munich Acad- emy, being afterwards ennobled by the King of Bavaria. Piloty was the foremost representative of the realistic school in Germany. He was a most successful teacher, and among his more famous pupils may be mentioned Nikolaos Gyzis, Nikiforos Lytras and Georgios Jakobides.

NOTE In his career Christoforos Savva made numerous drawings on paper that allowed him to master this medium. This par- ticular work is exemplary of the explorative studies that the artist created for the work Bathers at Kyrenia. Although it is a study for a larger work it does not cease to stand alone as an art work. Here Savva showcases the techniques that he learned during his studies in Paris at Andre Lhote’s renowned studio. He depicts three female nudes using sin- uous lines and vibrant colours. Contrasting these sinuous shapes, he uses rigid lines for the background to convey space, achieving a balanced composition. This work on paper is a prime example of the artists ground-breaking work which has been crucial to the development of Cypriot art. 57 Christoforos SAVVA Cypriot, 1924-1968 Study for Bathers at Kyrenia c.1957 gouache on paper 27.5 x 22 cm

LITERATURE Blackmer 1820 Luigi Palma di Cesnola (1832-1904) was an Italian-American soldier, diplomat, and amateur archaeologist. After a military career in both Europe and the American Civil War, Cesnola was appointed American consul in Cyprus in 1865 a position he held until 1877. During his years in Cyprus through extensive excavations especially around the archaeological site of Kourion, he amassed an unrivaled collection of Cypriot antiquities. His collection now commonly known as the “Cesnola collection” was purchased by the newly expanded Metro - politan Museum of Art in New York in 1872. In 1877, he accepted a place on the Museum’s board of trustees and served as its first director from 1879 until his death in 1904. The Cesnola Collection remains a wonderful storehouse of ancient art and artifact, and it is by far the most important and comprehensive collection of Cypriot material in the Western Hemisphere. The objects illustrate the unique character of Cypriot art and highlight the exotic blend of Greek, Near Eastern, and Egyptian influences in Cyprus.
