Diadumenè (1885, revised 1893). Sir Edward John Poynter (British, 1836-1919). Oil on canvas.

Diadumenè, derived from the Esquiline Venus and named after the Diadumenos of Polyclitus, originally exhibited at the RA in 1885 as a nude, inspired a debate regarding the nude in art. Poynter, despite his strong stance against his critics, was compelled to add drapery. The small bronze statue in the background echoes Diadumenè’s pose, but its still undraped state is a reminder of Poynter’s original intentions for the work.
