Visualizing Boccaccio represents an intriguing 1997 approach to the interpretation of Boccaccio's classic book of erotic tales, The Decameron. In a comparison of selected tales from The Decameron with painting and film, Ricketts demonstrates how the juxtaposition of verbal and visual renditions permits new interpretation of each of these works.
