, he was constantly employed during the best years of
his life in that branch of his profession. In 1635 he finished forty
scenes from the life of St Francis of Paula in the church of the Minimes
at Antwerp. In 1644 he received payment for four windows in St Jacques
of Antwerp, two of which are still preserved, and represent Virgins to
whom Christ appears after the Resurrection. The windows ascribed to him
at St Gudule of Brussels were executed from the cartoons of Theodore van
Thulden. On the occasion of his matriculation at Antwerp in 1638-1639,
Diepenbeck was registered in the guild of St Luke as a glass-painter. He
resigned his membership in the Artist Club of the Violette in 1542,
apparently because he felt hurt by a valuation then made of drawings
furnished for copperplates to the engraver Pieter de Jode. The earliest
record of his residence at Antwerp is that of his election to the
brotherhood (Sodalitat) "of the Bachelors" in 1634. It is probable that
before this time he had visited Rome and London, as noted in the work of
Houbraken. In 1636 he was made a burgess of Antwerp. He married twice,
in 1637 and 1652. He died in December 1675, and was buried at St Jacques
of Antwerp.

DIEPPE, a seaport of northern France, capital of an arrondissement in
the department of Seine-Inferieure, on the English Channel, 38 m. N. of
Rouen, and 105 m. N.W. of Paris by the Western railway. Pop. (1906)
22,120. It is situated at the mouth of the river Arques in a valley
bordered on each side by steep white cliffs. The main part of the town
lies to the west, and the fishing suburb of Le Pollet to the east of the
river and harbour. The sea-front of Dieppe, which in summer attracts
large numbers of visitors, consists of a pebbly beach backed by a
handsome marine promenade. Dieppe has a modern aspect; its streets are
wide and its houses, in most cases, are built of brick. Two squares side
by side and immediately to the west of the outer harbour form the
nucleus of the town, the Place Nationale, overlooked by the statue of
Admiral A. Duquesne, and the Place St Jacques, named after the beautiful
Gothic church which stands in its centre. The Grande Rue, the busiest
and handsomest street, leads westward from the Place Nationale. The
church of St Jacques was founded in the 13th century, but consists in
large measure of later workmanship and was in some portions restored in
the 19th century. The castle, overlooking the beach from the sum
