Painting Description
The "Resurrection of the Boy (detail 1, portrait of Ghirlandaio, 2nd from right)" is a notable segment of the St. Francis cycle, a series of frescoes attributed to the renowned Italian Renaissance painter Domenico Ghirlandaio. Domenico Ghirlandaio, born Domenico di Tommaso di Currado di Doffo Bigordi (1448 – 1494), was a masterful artist whose works are celebrated for their intricate detail, vivid color, and lifelike representation of figures. He was a prominent figure in the Florentine art scene during the late 15th century and is best known for his frescoes, which often depicted religious narratives and were commissioned by various patrons, including wealthy families and religious institutions.
The St. Francis cycle, believed to be painted around the late 15th century, illustrates various episodes from the life of St. Francis of Assisi, a revered saint known for his piety, humility, and devotion to the poor and nature. The "Resurrection of the Boy" is a specific scene within this cycle that captures a miraculous event attributed to St. Francis. In this scene, Ghirlandaio's skillful use of composition, perspective, and human expression brings the miracle to life, emphasizing the emotional and spiritual impact of the event.
A particularly intriguing aspect of this fresco is the inclusion of a self-portrait of Ghirlandaio himself, positioned second from the right in the detail. This self-portrait serves as a testament to the artist's presence and involvement in the creation of the work, offering a glimpse into the practice of artists embedding their likenesses within their compositions. Ghirlandaio's self-portrait is characterized by his distinctive features, rendered with the same meticulous attention to detail that defines his broader oeuvre.
The "Resurrection of the Boy" and its associated details not only highlight Ghirlandaio's technical prowess but also provide valuable insights into the cultural and religious context of the period. Through this fresco, viewers can appreciate the confluence of artistic innovation and devotional expression that marks the Italian Renaissance, as well as the enduring legacy of Domenico Ghirlandaio in the annals of art history.
