"The Birth of the Virgin" is a fresco by the Italian Renaissance artists Davide and Domenico Ghirlandaio, located in the Tornabuoni Chapel of the church of Santa Maria Novella in Florence, Italy. Created between 1485 and 1490, the fresco is part of a larger cycle that depicts scenes from the life of the Virgin Mary and that of St. John the Baptist, commissioned by the wealthy Florentine banker Giovanni Tornabuoni.

The fresco illustrates the moment of the Virgin Mary's birth, with attention to both religious significance and contemporary Florentine life. It showcases the Ghirlandaio brothers' skill in combining these elements, creating a scene that is both a devotional image and a reflection of the society of their time. The setting of the birth takes place in a well-appointed domestic interior, indicative of the wealth and status of the patron's family, and includes a number of female figures who are believed to be portraits of the Tornabuoni family members and their contemporaries.

The composition is noted for its detailed depiction of the furnishings and decorations of a 15th-century Florentine home, as well as for its portrayal of the customs surrounding childbirth in that period. The inclusion of these realistic details alongside the religious narrative was a hallmark of the Ghirlandaio workshop, which was known for its ability to blend the sacred with the everyday.

"The Birth of the Virgin" is admired for its use of perspective, color, and its incorporation of contemporary life into a religious scene. The fresco is an important example of the Renaissance interest in naturalism, and it contributes to our understanding of the social and cultural context of late 15th-century Florence. As part of the larger fresco cycle in the Tornabuoni Chapel, it plays a key role in one of the most significant and cohesive examples of narrative art from this period.
