After serving as a cavalry officer in the Crimean and American civil wars, Luigi di Palma Cesnola was appointed American Consul to Cyprus in 1865, where he acquired numerous Cypriot antiquities. The fledgling Metropolitan Museum of Art bought his collection at a bargain price in 1877, and in thanks (or in return) the trustees of the museum made Cesnola the first director of the Metropolitan.
