Visualizing Boccaccio
Visualizing Boccaccio: Studies on Illustrations of The Decameron, from Giotto to Pasolini, by Jill M. Ricketts. Because Boccaccio's writings are so multi-faceted, they have inspired hundreds of paintings over several centuries. This book analyzes why that is so (although it does not, itself, contain the illustrations which are its subject). CreditsBook cover image, courtesy Amazon.com. |
