domenico ghirlandaio

Ghirlandaio was renowned for his mastery of portraiture and historical scenes, marked by exquisite attention to detail and a refined use of light and volume. He frequently placed biblical narratives within the setting of contemporary Florence, filling them with recognizable figures of his own time, including patrons and their families. This unique approach imbued his works with striking vitality and realism. He is best known for his monumental fresco cycles, including The Last Supper in the Church of All Saints in Florence and The Birth of St. John the Baptist in the Tornabuoni Chapel of Santa Maria Novella. Among his other renowned works are portraits of his contemporaries, rendered with remarkable precision and expressive power. Ghirlandaio’s paintings are housed in many of the world’s leading art collections. One of his most celebrated works, the Portrait of Giovanna degli Albizzi Tornabuoni, is part of the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum in Madrid. Discover the art of Domenico Ghirlandaio in our catalog!
