Topic: Domenico Ghirlandaio

	Biography
		Ghirlandaio (also spelled Ghirlandaio, original name Domenico di Tommaso Bigordi) was an early Renaissance painter of the Florentine school noted for his detailed narrative frescoes, which include many portraits of leading citizens in contemporary dress.
		Ghirlandaio's first major commissioned works were the two frescoes depicting scenes from the life of St Fina, painted in 1475 in the Chapel of Santa Fina in the Collegiata at San Gimignano, near Florence.
		Ghirlandaio's last and greatest fresco cycle was painted for another Medici banker, Giovanni Tornabuoni, and represents scenes from the life of the Virgin and of St. John the Baptist, the patron saint of Florence.

		Domenico, who thought more of glory than of wealth, at once forgave him the extra amount, declaring that he was better pleased at having satisfied him than he could be with any payment that he might receive.
		When Domenico afterwards did the altar-picture he caused a fine tabernacle of the Sacrament to be placed in a gilt ornament under an arch, as a finish to the picture, introducing the arms of the patrons, that is the Ricci, on a shield a quarter of a braccia high.
		Domenico arrived, and there was no alteration, so that David, meeting the abbot one day, complained again, saying that he did not do this for his own sake, but on account of the merits and talents of his brother.

	Domenico Ghirlandaio
		Ghirlandaio (garland-maker) was only a nickname, coming to Domenico from the employment of his father (or else of his earliest instructor), who was renowned for fashioning the metallic garlands worn by Florentine damsels; he was not, however, as some have said, the inventor of them.
		Domenico, the eldest of eight children, was at first apprenticed to a jeweller or goldsmith, probably enough his own father; in his shop he was continually making portraits of the passers-by, and it was thought expedient to place him with Alesso Baldovinetti to study painting and mosaic.
		Ghirlandaio did not often attempt the nude; one of his pictures of this character, "Vulcan and his Assistants forging Thunderbolts", was painted for Lo Spedaletto, but (like several others specified by Giorgio Vasari) it exists no longer.

	Candida Martinelli's Italophile Site(Ghirlandaio)
		Domenico's father was a goldsmith, one of the cleverest goldsmiths in Florence, and he was specially famous for making garlands or wreaths of gold and silver.
		So as the young Ghirlandaio watched these men draw their great designs and listened to their talk, he began to feel that the goldsmith's work was cramped and narrow, and he longed for a larger, grander work.
		It was this story which Ghirlandaio painted on the walls of the chapel, as well as the history of John the Baptist.

	Adoration of the Shepherds by GHIRLANDAIO, Domenico
		Ghirlandaio himself appears in the scene, dressed as a shepherd.
		As Ghirlandaio is pointing both at the child and the garlands on the Roman marble sarcophagus, it is possible that the gesture is saying: "This holy child was painted for you by me, the garland-maker Ghirlandaio."
		In Ghirlandaio's altarpiece, the shepherds pushing their way into the picture from the right, with their harsh, life-like features, are drawn directly from this Flemish model.

	Domenico Ghirlandaio's painting
		In contrast to the other surviving parts of the altarpiece, which are mainly the works of Ghirlandaio's pupils, this panel was without doubt executed by the master himself and was probably his last work.
		According to Vasari, Domenico Ghirlandaio made a poliptych which stood freely in the Tornabuoni chapel so it could be observed from all sides.
		Christian von Holst rightfully accentuated that the picture had to be painted by Domenico Ghirlandaio himself since Saint Stephen's depiction is definitely the liveliest among all the panels of this altarpiece and it was possibly the prototype for the others.
