Domenico Ghirlandaio

Domenico Ghirlandaio , born in 1449 with Florence where he died the January 11th 1494, is an Italian painter of the school florentine whose name Ghirlandaio comes from an ornament in the shape of garland invented by his/her father, who was goldsmith.

Ghirlandaio enters the workshop of the painter Alesso Baldovinetti and, later, with the assistance of his brothers, it creates his own workshop in which Michel-Angel and Francesco Granacci will study. The workshop will be taken again with its death by his/her brother Davide Ghirlandaio. Although very attached to the requirements of its trade, he will be able to add to it a share of sensitivity which will make its art single.

In 1480, he becomes the portraitist more in vogue of the middle-class of Florence, and it that he works in the Chapelle Sixtine, is thus quite naturally inaugurated the August 15th 1483 with the Call of Pierre saint and saint André , where he collaborates with Botticelli. Its principal works are the decoration of the family vault of Sasseti with Santa Trinita of Florence and of the chorus of Santa Maria Novella (1485-1490).

Its table Old man and child (preserved at the museum of Louvre) is known for his incredible illustration of realism of a Rhinophyma.

Ghirlandaio was a bond between the time of medieval arts and the Renaissance.

His/her son Ridolfo del Ghirlandaio was also portraitist.
