Italian painter. He is first recorded in 1752 working with Francesco de Mura. Diana's early commissions, for example the ceiling decoration (1755) in the Seminary, Pozzuoli, or the paintings (1758-59) in the apse and vault of San Pietro Martire, Naples, depicting, respectively, St Catherine of Siena Predicting the Return of the Holy See to Rome, the Triumph of the Doctrine of St Thomas Aquinas and the Miraculous Image of St Dominic at Soriano, show de Mura's strong influence on Diana's compositions and use of colour.Show more
