 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 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.
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.
In general artistic attainment Ghirlandaio may fairly be regarded as exceeding all his precursors or competitors; though the names of a few, particularly Giotto, Masaccio, Fra Filippo Lippi and Botticelli, stand higher for originating power.

Ghirlandaio left Florence briefly for San Gimignano where in the collegiate church he painted the Stories of Saint Fina, the young saint who lived her short, sick life lying serenely on a board, and smiled at the announcement of her imminent death made by Saint Gregory the Great.
Ghirlandaio's decorative scheme was a traditional one that started from the vaults and descended across the pendentives onto the walls at the sides of the altar.
Ghirlandaio was commissioned to paint the chapel, which he decorated with frescoes with scenes from the life of Saint Francis of Assisi between 1482 and 1485.

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 is a great deal the outward show with Ghirlandaio, and not so much the inward soul, that we find in his pictures, though he had a wonderful gift of painting portraits.
It was this story which Ghirlandaio painted on the walls of the chapel, as well as the history of John the Baptist.
