"Cimon and Iphigenia from The Decameron by Boccaccio" is a painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Jan van Noordt, also known as Joan van Noordt. The painting is inspired by a story from Giovanni Boccaccio's "The Decameron," a 14th-century Italian collection of novellas. The specific tale depicted in the artwork is the fifth story of the fifth day, which narrates the transformation of Cimon, a brutish and uncultured man, into a paragon of virtue and wisdom after falling in love with Iphigenia, a beautiful and virtuous woman.

Jan van Noordt, active in the second half of the 17th century, was known for his historical and biblical scenes, as well as his portraits. His work is characterized by dramatic use of light and shadow, rich coloration, and dynamic compositions, which are evident in "Cimon and Iphigenia." The painting captures the moment of Cimon's infatuation, as he gazes upon the sleeping Iphigenia, a scene that encapsulates the transformative power of love.

The artwork is significant for its representation of a literary subject from the Italian Renaissance within the context of Dutch Golden Age painting. It reflects the cultural exchange between Italy and the Netherlands during the period and illustrates the enduring influence of Boccaccio's literary work on the visual arts. The painting is also an example of the Northern European interest in classical themes and the humanist values they embodied.

"Cimon and Iphigenia from The Decameron by Boccaccio" by Jan van Noordt is an important work within the artist's oeuvre and contributes to the understanding of the reception of Italian literature in the Dutch Republic. It remains a testament to the cross-cultural artistic dialogues of the 17th century and the universal themes explored in Boccaccio's "The Decameron."
