DIAMANTE, FRA

This article appears in Volume V08, Page 157 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: DEM-DIO
DIAMANTE, FRA , Italian fresco painter, was born at
Prato
  about 1400. He was a Carmelite friar, a member of the Florentine community of that order, and was the friend and assistant of Filippo Lippi. The Carmelite convent of
Prato
  which he adorned with many works in fresco has been suppressed, and the buildings have been altered to a degree involving the destruction of the paintings. He was the
principal
  assistant of Fra Filippo in the grand frescoes which may still be seen at the
east
  end of the
cathedral
  of Prato. In the midst of the
work
  he was recalled to Florence by his conventual superior, and a minute of proceedings of the commune of Prato is still extant, in which it is determined to
petition
  the
metropolitan
  of Florence to obtain his return to
Prato,a proof that his share in the
work
  was so important that his recall involved the suspension of it. Subsequently he assisted Fra Filippo in the execution of the frescoes still to be seen in the
cathedral
  of Spoleto, which Fra Diamante completed in 1470 after his master's death in 1469. Fra Filippo left a son ten years old to the care of Diamante, who, having received 200 ducats from the commune of Spoleto, as the
balance
  due for the work done in the cathedral, returned with the child to Florence, and, as
Vasari
  says, bought land for himself with the money, giving but a small portion to the child. The accusation of wrong-doing, however, would depend upon the share of the work executed by Fra Diamante, and the terms of his agreement with Fra Filippo. Fra Diamante must have been nearly seventy when he completed the frescoes at Spoleto, but the exact year of his death is not known.
