"The Circumcision" is a Renaissance painting by the Italian artist Benvenuto Tisi, also known as Il Garofalo, due to his association with the city of Ferrara and his use of a small clover or "garofalo" in his signature. This artwork, dating from the early 16th century, depicts the biblical scene of the circumcision of Jesus, an event traditionally celebrated in the Christian liturgical calendar on January 1st, and described in the Gospel of Luke (Luke 2:21).

Garofalo's rendition of this religious ceremony is characterized by its vibrant color palette and meticulous attention to detail, both hallmarks of the High Renaissance style. The composition typically shows the infant Jesus on the lap of the Virgin Mary or another figure, surrounded by various onlookers, including Joseph, priests, and sometimes angels or other holy figures. The painting is noted for its emotional depth and the use of light to highlight the figures, particularly the Christ Child.

The work is significant in the oeuvre of Garofalo, who was a prominent figure in the Ferrarese school of painting and a contemporary of other Renaissance masters such as Raphael and Titian. "The Circumcision" exemplifies Garofalo's skill in blending the influence of the Roman and Venetian schools of painting with the local Ferrarese tradition.

While the exact whereabouts or current ownership of "The Circumcision" by Garofalo may not be well-documented, works of this subject by the artist have been held in various collections and may be found in museums or churches, reflecting their historical and artistic importance. As with many works of this period, the provenance and condition of the painting may have varied over time, with potential restorations or changes impacting its present state.

"The Circumcision" by Garofalo contributes to the rich tapestry of Renaissance art, offering insight into the religious and cultural context of the period, as well as the technical and stylistic developments that characterized the work of Ferrarese painters during the High Renaissance.
