DIADUMENÉ, Edward J. Poynter, London; canvas. A nude female figure, full length, standing, binding her hair; background, a marble bath with mosaic columns. The pose of the figure and the name are derived from the famous statue by Polyclitus of the boy binding his hair, called from that circumstance the Diadumenus. Royal Academy, 1884.

DIAMANTE, FRA, born about 1430, died after 1492. Florentine school; pupil of Fra Filippo Lippi, and his assistant in painting the frescos at Prato and Spoleto, the latter of which were finished by him after his master's death. Vasari says he attained great perfection in imitating Fra Filippo's manner and obtained great credit for it. It is not possible to distinguish his hand in any of his master's work.—C. & C., Italy, ii. 352; Vasari, ed. Le Mon., iv. 121, 127.
