Ink on paper
586mm x 798mm
A scene with John the Baptist preaching to a crowd from a rock. A contemporary of Boticelli and Filippino Lippi, Ghirlandaio was born Domenico Currado Bigordi in Florence in 1449 and died there in 1498. His father was a goldsmith and Ghirlandaio was apprenticed as a goldsmith also before he began an apprenticeship under Alessio Baldovinetti to study painting and mosaic. He would later set up a painting school and take on his own apprentices, including Michelangelo. This fresco is one of a number of frescoes of the Madonna and of St John the Baptist in the choir of Santa Maria Novella in Florence. The copy was published by the Arundel Society in 1867.
