"The Story of Nastagio degli Onesti (detail 1 of the first episode)" is a celebrated painting by the renowned Italian Renaissance artist Sandro Botticelli. This work is part of a series of four panels painted by Botticelli in the 1480s, which depict scenes from the eighth story of the fifth day in Giovanni Boccaccio's "Decameron." The series was commissioned by Lorenzo the Magnificent of the Medici family, likely for the occasion of the wedding of Giannozzo Pucci and Lucrezia Bini in 1483.

The first episode illustrates the beginning of the tragic tale of Nastagio degli Onesti, a young nobleman from Ravenna who, after being spurned by his beloved, retreats to the pine forest of Classe to dwell on his unrequited love. In this detail, Botticelli captures the moment when Nastagio witnesses a horrifying scene: a desperate, naked woman being chased by a menacing knight and his dogs, intent on punishing her for her past cruelty to him in love.

Botticelli's masterful use of line and composition is evident in this panel, where the viewer's eye is drawn to the dramatic interaction between the characters. The lush forest setting is depicted with meticulous attention to botanical detail, characteristic of Botticelli's work. The painting also reflects the social and moral values of the time, as the story serves as a cautionary tale about the consequences of unkindness and the redemptive power of love.

The panel is executed in tempera on wood and is noted for its vivid color palette and elegant figures, hallmarks of Botticelli's style. It is currently housed in the Prado Museum in Madrid, Spain, along with the other three panels of the series. "The Story of Nastagio degli Onesti" is considered a significant example of narrative art from the Florentine Renaissance and continues to be studied for its complex interplay of moral allegory and visual splendor.
