ABOUT THE WORK The Decameron subtitled Prince Galehaut is a collection of short stories by the 14th-century Italian author Giovanni Boccaccio 1313-1375. It is sometimes nicknamed l'Umana commedia The Human Comedy as it was Boccaccio that dubbed Dante Alighieri's Comedy 'Divine'. The book is structured as a frame story containing 100 tales told by a group of seven young women and three young men; they shelter in a secluded villa just outside Florence in order to escape the Black Death which was afflicting the city. The epidemic is likely what Boccaccio used for the basis of the book which was thought to be written between 1348 and 1353. The various tales of love in The Decameron range from the erotic to the tragic. Tales of wit practical jokes and life lessons also contribute to the mosaic. In addition to its literary value and widespread influence for example on Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales it provides a document of life at the time. Written in the vernacular of the Florentine language it is considered a masterpiece of early Italian prose. Boccaccio was one of the most important figures in the European literary panorama of the fourteenth century. Some scholars including Vittore Branca define him as the greatest European prose writer of his time a versatile writer who amalgamated different literary trends and genres making them converge in original works thanks to a creative activity exercised under the banner of experimentalism. ABOUT THE ILLUSTRATOR Louis Chalon 1862 -1915 was a French painter illustrator goldsmith and silversmith and sculptor. Chalon studied with Jules-Joseph Lefebvre and Boulanger. He showed his classically inspired paintings at the salons of the Société des Artistes Français in Paris from 1880 to 1911 where he received numerous awards.
