The subject depicted comes from the first part of the "Griselda novella" in Giovanni Boccaccio's Decameron. On this panel, on the left, we see Gualtieri, the marquis of Saluzzo take to the road on the day of his wedding. At the centre he meets the unsuspecting, who is carrying water home from the well. On the right we see the wedding take place before the house of Griselda's family. ## Related artworks - [Beheading of Sts Cosmas and Damian]() - [Christ on the Cross]() - [Episode from the Story of Griselda \(detail\)]() - [Episode from the Story of Griselda]() - [King Melchior Sailing to the Holy Land]() - [Madonna with Child \(detail\)]() - [Madonna with Child]() - [Predella scenes \(reconstruction\)]() - [Sacra Conversazione]() - [Santa Trinità Altarpiece]() - [Seven Liberal Arts]() - [Seven Virtues]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
