Domenico Ghirlandaio

My Ghirlandaio’s Girls

Domenico Ghirlandaio is one of my favorite artists ever! And the Capella Tornabuoni’s frescoes can be considered as his masterpiece!

So I made 3 of my favorite Ghirlandaio’s Girls. The first one is his muse Giovanna (degli Albizzi) Tornabuoni, from “The Nativity”. 

Giovanna is the gorgeous young wife of Lorenzo Tornabuoni, son of Giovanni Tornabuoni the head of the family.

Ghirlandaio immortalized her also in the painting “Portrait of Giovanna Tornabuoni”, one of his most famous artworks.

The second is, possibly, a Medici lady, maybe Lorenzo’s older daughter, Lucrezia. Since the Tornabuonis and the Medicis had a lot of marriages between the families, and a lot of Medici members are in the frescoes, is very presumptive the girl close to Clarice Orsini (Lorenzo’s wife) and Lucrrezia Tornabuoni (Lorenzo’s mother) is a Medici girl. But I can’t be sure of that, I’m still researching about it.

The fresco is “Birth of the Baptist”

The last one is the young Ludovica Tornabuoni, a 13 years old daughter of Messer Giovanni Tornabuoni, from “The Birth of Mary”.

Did you like my Ghirlandaio’s girls? I love this artist so much, so it’s very possible that I’ll make a lot of more of his ladies ;)
