This illustration of a scene in a Boccaccio story was commissioned for the marriage of Giannozzo Pucci and Lucrezia Bini (1483), as indicated by the coats of arms; stylistic examination confirms this dating. The series of panels is by Botticelli in concept and design, but the execution is mainly studio work and critics recognize in it the collaboration of Bartolomeo di Giovanni. Botticelli had come back from Rome in 1482 famous for the work he had done there and, overloaded with commissions, was obliged to hire assistants. Certainly the drawing is very fine - "all alive with delicate and pungent graces" (Bettini) - and reflects the narrative ability of the master and his penetrating intuition in translating the original novella. In it, Boccaccio tells the tale of an unrequited lover who changes his lady's mind: he made her visualize hell and the perpetual torment of a cruel woman by the lover who had suffered damnation for her. In the detail reproduced here, the youth is seen pursuing the nude girl; he knocks her to the ground, tears out her heart, throws it to his dogs, then starts the pursuit and torture again, the cycle continuing through eternity. Without question it is the most beautiful of the panels. The view recedes from the shore of Classe to the far distant horizon which divides the scene into two areas equal in size but entirely different in intensity. Vertically, the picture is punctuated at varying intervals by the tall pine-trees supporting their green, mushroom-shaped tops. The elegant figures move amid these geometric coordinates, and the fantastic narration is achieved effortlessly in a play of intricate rhythms.
