Fra Angelico (formerly attributed to the Master of the Griggs Crucifixion); Scenes from Boccaccio's 'Il ninfale fiesolano'; ca. 1415-1420; tempera on panel; 11 3/8 in. x 49 13/16 in. (28.9 cm. x 126.5 cm.); This panel once formed the front of a cassone; a chest used in a Florentine household for storing fine clothes. A bride's dowry traditionally included such cases. This panel depicts scenes from Giovanni Boccaccio's poem Il Ninfale Fiesolano (The Nymphs of Fiesole); written ca. 1343. The painting recounts the tale of the tragic love of a mortal youth (Africo) for one of the nymphs (Mensola) in the entourage of goddess Diana. In the first scene; Diana holds court in a verdant garden; warning the nymphs to beware of men. The heroine Mensola; to the right; points to the second scene; in which Venus; the goddess of love; appears to the handsome Africo in a dream. In scene three; his parents warn Africo not to pursue Diana's nymphs. Finally; he reveals himself to Mensola (swimming with her companions); who falls in love at the sight of him. A companion chest; now lost; might have completed the tale with additional scenes; including the transformation of the nymph Mensola into the river of the same name. In 2005 Laurence Kantor; a noted scholar of early Italian art; hypothesized that this work was painted by an adolescent Guido di Pietro; later known as Fra Angelico; then learning his art in the workshop of Lorenzo Monaco.
