The "Nativity of the Virgin" (Italian: "Nascita di Maria") is a fresco painting created by the renowned Italian Renaissance artist Domenico Ghirlandaio. Completed between 1485 and 1490, this work is part of a larger cycle of frescoes that adorn the Tornabuoni Chapel in the church of Santa Maria Novella in Florence, Italy. Commissioned by Giovanni Tornabuoni, a wealthy banker and patron of the arts, the frescoes were intended to celebrate the life of the Virgin Mary and to honor the Tornabuoni family.

The "Nativity of the Virgin" is notable for its intricate composition and the detailed depiction of contemporary Florentine life. The scene is set in an opulent interior, reflecting the wealth and sophistication of the Tornabuoni family. The fresco captures the moment of the Virgin Mary's birth, with Saint Anne, her mother, reclining on a luxurious bed, attended by midwives and servants. The newborn Mary is being bathed in the foreground, a common motif in Nativity scenes of the period.

Ghirlandaio's attention to detail is evident in the elaborate architectural elements and the rich textiles that adorn the scene. The fresco also includes portraits of contemporary figures, likely members of the Tornabuoni family and their associates, seamlessly integrated into the biblical narrative. This blending of sacred and secular elements is characteristic of Ghirlandaio's work and reflects the humanist ideals of the Renaissance, which sought to harmonize classical antiquity with contemporary life.

The "Nativity of the Virgin" is celebrated for its vibrant colors, balanced composition, and the naturalism of its figures. Ghirlandaio's skillful use of perspective and his ability to convey the textures of different materials contribute to the fresco's lifelike quality. This work not only exemplifies Ghirlandaio's mastery as a painter but also provides valuable insight into the social and cultural milieu of late 15th-century Florence.
