Illustratie voor de Decamerone van Boccaccio 1697

"Illustratie voor de Decamerone van Boccaccio" (Illustration for the Decameron by Boccaccio) is an etching by the Dutch Golden Age artist Romeyn de Hooghe. This 1697 print is part of a series of illustrations for Giovanni Boccaccio’s *Decameron*, a collection of novellas, and depicts a scene from the famous work. The small engraving, currently in the collection of the Rijksmuseum, shows a group of people seated at a table, with a scene of chaos unfolding in the background. The detailed etching is characteristic of de Hooghe’s work, and this small-scale print reflects the artistic trends of the late 17th-century Dutch Golden Age.
