"The Story of Nastagio degli Onesti (fourth episode)" is a painting by the renowned Italian Renaissance artist Sandro Botticelli, created circa 1483. This artwork is part of a series of four panels that depict scenes from the "Decameron," a collection of novellas by the 14th-century Italian author Giovanni Boccaccio. The series was commissioned by Lorenzo the Magnificent of the Medici family, a prominent patron of the arts, for the occasion of the marriage of Giannozzo Pucci and Lucrezia Bini in 1483.

The fourth panel illustrates the final episode of the eighth tale of the fifth day from the "Decameron," in which Nastagio degli Onesti, a nobleman from Ravenna, organizes a banquet in a pine forest to convince the woman he loves to marry him. The painting captures the moment when the ghostly hunt, which has tormented Nastagio in the previous panels, culminates in a dramatic lesson about the consequences of spurning love. The cruel woman, having witnessed the eternal punishment of the ghostly knight and his unrequited love, ultimately agrees to marry Nastagio, moved by fear and the supernatural intervention.

Botticelli's masterful use of color and composition in this panel conveys the opulence of the banquet and the dramatic intensity of the narrative. The painting is notable for its detailed depiction of the Renaissance feast, the elegant attire of the guests, and the lush landscape that serves as the backdrop for the supernatural event. The work is a testament to Botticelli's ability to blend literary themes with visual storytelling, creating a vivid tableau that reflects the humanistic interests of the time.

"The Story of Nastagio degli Onesti (fourth episode)" is a significant example of Botticelli's narrative art and provides insight into the cultural and social context of the Italian Renaissance. Along with the other three panels in the series, it demonstrates the artist's skill in translating complex literary sources into compelling visual narratives. The painting is held in high esteem for its historical and artistic value, contributing to the understanding of Botticelli's oeuvre and the broader tapestry of Renaissance art.
