Domenico Ghirlandaio

Domenico Ghirlandaio (1449 – January 11, 1494) is an Italian Renaissance painter from Florence.

Ghirlandaio is part of the so-called "third generation" of the Florentine Renaissance, along with Verrocchio, the Pollaiolo brothers and Sandro Botticelli.

Ghirlandaio is the leader of a large and efficient workshop that includes his brothers Davide Ghirlandaio and Benedetto Ghirlandaio, his brother-in-law Sebastiano Mainardi from San Gimignano and later his son Ridolfo Ghirlandaio.

[ Among the many apprentices that pass through his workshop, the most famous is Michelangelo.

Ghirlandaio's particular talent is his ability to depict contemporary life and portraits of contemporary people within the context of religious narratives.

This brings him great popularity and many large commissions.
