Diana was an extraordinary scholar who had a major impact on the art history dept at Yale. We also enjoyed talking about raising our amazing sons.

I knew her thanks to her MOOC Roman Architecture. I am so grateful for this incredible piece of knowledge shared with all. Will not forget her. Condoléances to her family Claudie- France

I'm very shocked and deeply saddened to hear of the passing of this remarkable woman. DEEK was my PhD advisor at Yale, and was always inspirational and supportive - and challenged us all to do our best work. The professor/student relationship transformed into a real friendship. She was ground-breaking in so many ways, and my love and thoughts go out to Fred, Alex and the rest of her family. RIP Diana E.E. Kleiner, an unforgettable scholar, warm personality, and friend.
