Decameron (Tancredi e Ghismunda) - Boccaccio
Sigismonda and the Heart of Guiscardo. Moses Haughton (English, 1772-1848). Oil on canvas.
From Giovanni Boccaccio’s medieval novel, the Decameron. The heroine Sigismunda reads the letter sent with a golden goblet from her father, Prince Tancred. Inside is the heart of her dead husband, Giuscardo – one of Tancred’s servants. He has murdered him, enraged by their unsuitable secret marriage.
