Botticelli. 4 scenes from the Decameron (14th c.) of Boccaccio, illustrating the tale of Nostagio, 1483.
A very pre-MeToo storyline of courtly love is the pretense here for Botticelli to really show his Renaissance stuff. The first two panels are particularly interesting for how sequential scenes over time are displayed simultaneously. The second two panels are remarkable for their resemblance to sacred art, a kind of transitional moment in #Painting and culture, too.
