DABOUR, JOHN, born in Smyrna, Turkey in Asia, in 1837. Portrait painter, pupil in Paris of École des Beaux Arts and of Jeanron. Studio in Baltimore, where he has resided many years.

DADDI, BERNARDO, died in 1380. Florentine school; follower of Giotto. Vasari calls him a pupil of Spinello, but this is inconsistent with the only dates of his life.

Stefano de Pulci in S. Croce, Florence. They show the weakness of an artist of a low order, but with some knowledge of the laws of composition as known to most of the inferior Giottesques. A small Madonna by him, signed Bernardus de Florentia, is in the Florence Academy.—C. & C., Italy, ii. 6; Lübke, Gesch. ital. Mal., i. 154; Vasari, ed. Mil., i. 463, 673, N. 2; W. & W., i. 454.
