Master of the Story of Griselda

The Master of the Story of Griselda was an Italian artist who specialized in panel paintings.

He received his notname from a group of paintings depicting the story of Griselda, as recounted by Giovanni Boccaccio in his Decameron.

At that time, prominent families often commissioned panel paintings for their private rooms; or to celebrate weddings and births.

In fact, a cycle of famous men and women, originally believed to be Signorelli's, are now credited to the Master.

They have been separated: Artemisia is in the Museo Poldi Pezzoli (Milan), Alexander the Great is in the Barber Institute of Fine Arts (Birmingham), Joseph is in the National Gallery of Art (Washington D.C.) and Tiberius Gracchus is in the Szépművészeti Múzeum (Budapest).
