"The Nerli Cassone" is a notable example of a 15th-century Italian cassone, or marriage chest, attributed to the Florentine painter Jacopo del Sellaio (c. 1442 – 1493). Cassoni were an integral part of Italian Renaissance marriage rituals, often commissioned to celebrate the union of two families and used to store the bride's dowry. This particular cassone is distinguished by its elaborate narrative panels, which depict scenes from classical mythology or romanticized history, reflecting the humanist interests of the period.

The Nerli Cassone is named after the prominent Nerli family of Florence, who were likely the original patrons of the piece. The artwork is renowned for its intricate detail, vibrant colors, and the skillful use of gold leaf, which was a common feature in luxury goods of the time. The central panel of the cassone typically features a scene of courtly love or chivalric virtue, which was intended to provide moral instruction to the newlyweds.

Jacopo del Sellaio was a student of Fra Filippo Lippi and a contemporary of Sandro Botticelli, and his work on The Nerli Cassone showcases the influence of both masters. Del Sellaio's style is characterized by its delicate figures, expressive faces, and the use of perspective to create depth in the narrative scenes. The cassone's design and iconography offer insight into the cultural and artistic milieu of Renaissance Florence, where art served both decorative and didactic purposes.

Today, The Nerli Cassone is recognized as an important artifact of Renaissance material culture and is studied for its artistic merit as well as its sociological significance. It is held in a museum collection, where it continues to be a subject of scholarly research and a draw for visitors interested in the art and history of the Italian Renaissance.
