The Story of Natagio Degli Onesti [Image]


In this series of panels, Botticelli illustrated one of the stories told in Bocaccio´s Decamerone. It is the nuptial story of the young Nastagio Degli Onesti. Shunned by the woman of this heart, he was walking through a wood where he experienced a strange vision: that of a woman who was pursued and caught by a nobleman who tore her heart out and fed it to his dogs. [Prado Museum.
