How Does Boccaccio Have A Strong Emphasis On The Basis Of Gender

Scene from the Tale of Nastagio degli Onesti in Boccaccio’s “Decameron.” This painting was created after 1483 by an Italian artist who named Davide di Tommaso Bigordi, also known as Davide Ghirlandaio. The medium was tempera on wood panel. This was about 700 years old of a European painting. The artist was born in 1452 and died at age 73. The painting expresses different human behaviors.
