"Birth of St John the Baptist" is a fresco by the Italian Renaissance painter Domenico Ghirlandaio, completed around 1486-1490. The artwork is part of a series of frescoes that adorn the Tornabuoni Chapel in the church of Santa Maria Novella in Florence, Italy. Ghirlandaio was commissioned by the wealthy Florentine banker Giovanni Tornabuoni to decorate the chapel with scenes from the lives of the Virgin Mary and St John the Baptist, reflecting the devotional interests and social status of the patron's family.

The fresco depicting the birth of St John the Baptist is particularly notable for its vivid portrayal of a domestic scene, set within a contemporary Florentine interior. It showcases Ghirlandaio's skill in creating narrative detail and his ability to integrate classical elements with the naturalism of the Early Renaissance. The composition is filled with figures that exhibit a variety of emotions and actions, from the central scene of St. John's mother, Elizabeth, in her childbed, to the maidservants bustling about the room, to the figure of Zacharias, John's father, who is seen writing his son's name on a tablet.

Ghirlandaio's work is characterized by its clarity of form and color, as well as the inclusion of portraits of contemporary figures within the religious narrative, a common practice of the time that linked the divine with the earthly realm. The fresco serves as a testament to the artist's mastery of perspective and his ability to convey complex stories through art. It remains an important example of Renaissance fresco technique and provides insight into the cultural and artistic milieu of late 15th-century Florence.
