Lisabetta from Messina and Friar Alberto

It is Friar Alberto who visits Lisetta and lies with her posing as the Archangel Gabriel (novella second, fourth day of The' Decameron ' by Giovanni Boccaccio). This drawing fits into the typical figurative tradition of Germanic area. In fact, the recent vast legacy of Expressionism and the new German objectivity (grotesque deformations and the declared vulgarity of sign and images) merges with recoveries of the oldest tradition, medieval (religious and popular bohemian decorativism) and Renaissance (German woodcut, flourished and minutely descriptive).
