塞浦路斯，是位于地中海东北部的一个岛国，地处欧洲与亚洲交界处，虽然在地理位置上属于亚洲 ，但在历史、文化、政治上却是欧洲的一部分。这里是神话中“断臂美人”维纳斯的故乡，而且也有太阳神阿波罗的神庙遗址，有人称它为整个欧洲和中东的历史博物馆。
在大都会艺术博物馆中藏有约6000件塞浦路斯古代文物，是除塞浦路斯本土外，收藏塞浦路斯文物最丰富、最多样的博物馆。这些藏品大多于19世纪70年代中期由路易吉·帕尔马·迪·塞斯诺拉( Cesnola )将军收购，他在担任美国驻塞浦路斯领事期间收集了大量藏品。这批藏品可以追溯到公元前2500年到公元300年左右，属于古代文明时期最优秀的塞浦路斯艺术品。特别是塞浦路斯的石灰岩雕塑，包括来自 Golgoi 和 Amathus 的令人印象深刻的石棺，堪称世界艺术史上的杰作。

大都会艺术博物馆的 Cesnola 收藏
塞浦路斯古代艺术
The Cesnola Collection in The Metropolitan Museum of Art is the richest and most varied representation, outside Cyprus, of Cypriot antiquities. These works were purchased by the newly established Museum in the mid-1870s from General Luigi Palma di Cesnola, a Civil War cavalry officer who had amassed the objects while serving as the American consul on Cyprus. The Cesnola Collection was the earliest acquisition of Mediterranean antiquities by the Museum and constituted its primary display of archaeological material. In 1879 Cesnola became the Museum's first director, a position that he held until his death in 1904.
大都会艺术博物馆的塞斯诺拉( Cesnola )藏品是塞浦路斯以外最丰富、最多样的塞浦路斯古董。这些作品是新成立的博物馆在19世纪70年代中期从内战骑兵军官路易吉·帕尔马·迪·塞斯诺拉( Cesnola )将军那里购买的，他在担任美国驻塞浦路斯领事期间收集了这些作品。塞斯诺拉( Cesnola )藏品是该博物馆最早收购的地中海古董，是其考古材料的主要展示。1879年，塞斯诺拉( Cesnola )成为博物馆的第一任馆长，直到1904年去世。
This splendid catalogue is published on the occasion of the opening of the Museum's four permanent galleries for ancient art from Cyprus. It is also the first scholarly publication since 1914 devoted to the Cesnola Collection (which totals approximately six thousand objects). The volume features some five hundred pieces from the collection, illustrated in superb new color photography. Dating from about 2500 B.C. to about A.D. 300, these works rank among the finest examples of Cypriot art from the prehistoric, Geometric, Archaic, Classical, Hellenistic, and Roman periods. Among the objects are monumental sculpture; weapons, tools, and domestic utensils; vases, lamps, and ritual paraphernalia; dedicatory figurines; engraved sealstones and jewelry; and luxury objects. They represent every major medium worked in antiquity—stone, copper-based metal, clay, faience, glass, gold and silver, ivory, and semiprecious stones. These pieces testify to the quintessentially Cypriot amalgam of indigenous traditions and elements assimilated from the ancient Assyrians, Egyptians, Persians, Greeks, and Romans who, one after the other, controlled the island. Special emphasis is placed on the Metropolitan Museum's collection of Cypriot limestone sculpture, which includes impressive sarcophagi from Golgoi and Amathus and is the finest in the world.
这本精美的目录是在博物馆的四个永久性古艺术画廊开业之际出版的。这也是自1914年以来第一份专门讨论塞斯诺拉( Cesnola )藏品的学术出版物（共约6000件藏品）。这本书展示了该系列的大约500件作品，并以高超的新彩色摄影为插图。这些作品可以追溯到公元前2500年到公元300年左右，是史前、几何、古代、古典、希腊和罗马时期最优秀的塞浦路斯艺术作品之一。其中包括纪念性雕塑；武器、工具和家用器具；花瓶、灯和仪式用具；献身雕像；雕刻的石头和珠宝；还有奢侈品。它们代表了古代石材、铜基金属、粘土、彩陶、玻璃、金银、象牙和半宝石的每一种主要加工介质。这些作品证明了典型的塞浦路斯土著传统和元素的融合，这些传统和元素从古代亚述人、埃及人、波斯人、希腊人和罗马人那里吸收，他们一个接一个地控制着这个岛屿。特别强调的是大都会博物馆收藏的塞浦路斯石灰岩雕塑，其中包括来自 Golgoi 和 Amathus 的令人印象深刻的石棺，是世界上最好的。

The Cesnola Collection of antiquities from Cyprus preserves the island’s artistic traditions from prehistoric through Roman times and represents the first large group of ancient Mediterranean works to enter the museum’s collection. This catalogue, which focuses on Cypriot terracottas, was originally published in 2004 as a CD-ROM, and is now available in a more accessible format. It contains nearly 500 works dating from between about 2000 B.C. and the 2nd century A.D. from one of the most expansive collections of Cypriot art in the world. Illustrations of each object are accompanied by a detailed catalogue entry, including a brief bibliography. In addition, fifteen commentaries make the catalogue a perfect introduction to Cypriot terracottas and the colorful world of ancient life and mythology.
来自塞浦路斯的塞斯诺拉(Cesnola )古董收藏保存了该岛从史前到罗马时代的艺术传统，是第一批进入博物馆收藏的大型古地中海作品。该目录以塞浦路斯兵马俑为重点，最初于2004年以CD-ROM形式出版，现在以更容易获取的格式提供。它包含了近500件作品，其历史可追溯到公元前2000年至公元2世纪，每件物品的插图都附有详细的目录条目，包括简要的参考书目。此外，十五条注释使该目录完美地介绍了塞浦路斯兵马俑以及古代生活和神话的多彩世界。

The Cesnola Collection of antiquities from Cyprus was one of the earliest acquisitions by The Metropolitan Museum of Art. In 1872—two years after its founding—275 crates of objects were purchased and brought to the Museum by Luigi Palma di Cesnola, who soon became its first director. This collection, with over 6,000 works, documents the art of Cyprus from ca. 3000 B.C. through ca. A.D. 300 in all major media—terracottas, bronzes, gems, glass, silver and gold plate, and jewelry. The distinction of the collection, however, lies in the stone sculptures that are unequalled in any other institution and that are beautifully illustrated and cataloged in this unique publication. The 635 large-scale stone sarcophagi, funerary monuments, and votive sculptures, primarily of the sixth through fourth centuries B.C., testify to the wealth and power of the individuals that commissioned them. The exceptional variety of types reflects the succession of rulers that dominated the island and exploited its resources, and shows influences of the cultural exchanges with other great early civilizations across the Mediterranean.
Cesnola 收藏的塞浦路斯古董是大都会艺术博物馆最早的收藏品之一。成立两年后的1872年，Cesnola 购买了275箱文物，并将其带到博物馆，他很快成为了博物馆的第一任馆长。这套藏品共有6000多件作品，记录了塞浦路斯从公元前3000年到公元300年的艺术，包括各种主要的陶器、青铜器、宝石、玻璃、金银盘和珠宝。然而，该系列的独特之处在于，石雕在任何其他机构中都是无与伦比的，并且在这本独特的出版物中有精美的插图和目录。这635座大型石棺、墓葬纪念碑和还愿雕塑，主要是公元前6世纪至公元前4世纪的作品，证明了委托它们的个人的财富和权力。这种特殊的类型反映了统治该岛并开发其资源的统治者的继承，并显示了与地中海其他伟大早期文明的文化交流的影响。
