Description
-
This engraving depicts a woman named Busa on the left side of the image looking at the group of people in front of her. Boccaccio explains that after a city called Cannae was attacked by Hannibal the Carthaginian, the people fled to Canusium. Busa opened her home graciously to the people who fled the danger of war and provided them with hospitality and food. These are the people who are depicted sitting around Busa’s table.
