The World-Renowned Diniacopoulos Provenance

The Diniacopoulos provenance appears in institutions worldwide including the British Museum, Brooklyn Museum and Metropolitan Museum of Art. Very recently the Royal Ontario Museum received three limestone figures from the tomb of Theban stonemason Amenmosi from the Diniacopoulos collection which had been chronicled in the 1820s by the renowned French archaeologist Jean-Francois Champollion.

The couple were tremendous patrons of the arts with a special affection for Egyptian art, in part attributable to the years they spent living in that country. Their admiration for, and knowledge of, the ancient world enabled Madame and Monsieur Diniacopoulos to move in private and museum circles that included such renowned figures as William Randolph Hearst, Eli Borowski, Hans von Bothmer and F. Cleveland Morgan.

While their collection contained a number of important and major works of art, the couple also amassed a large collection of smaller objects that bear witness to the couple’s appreciation and respect for the intrinsic value of antiquities, both great and small.
