"The Circumcision" is a renowned fresco by the Italian Renaissance painter Luca Signorelli, executed around 1490-1491. It is housed in the Chapel of San Brizio, located in the Orvieto Cathedral in Orvieto, Umbria, Italy. This work is part of a larger series of frescoes that Signorelli painted in the chapel, which are considered some of his masterpieces and a significant contribution to Renaissance art.

The fresco depicts the biblical scene of the Circumcision of Jesus, an event described in the Gospel of Luke, where the infant Jesus is presented at the Temple and undergoes the Jewish rite of circumcision according to the Law of Moses. Signorelli's interpretation of the scene is noted for its vivid portrayal of the figures, the use of perspective, and the detailed architectural setting that frames the ceremony.

In "The Circumcision," Signorelli demonstrates his skill in the use of foreshortening and his understanding of the human anatomy, which he studied extensively. The composition is characterized by a group of figures gathered around the central action, with the High Priest performing the ritual on the Christ Child, who is held by the Virgin Mary. The figures are depicted with a sense of volume and three-dimensionality that reflects Signorelli's knowledge of the work of his contemporaries and predecessors, such as Piero della Francesca and Andrea Mantegna.

The fresco is also notable for its rich color palette and the attention to detail in the costumes and expressions of the onlookers, which convey a range of emotions from reverence to apprehension. The inclusion of several onlookers who appear to be portraits of contemporary individuals suggests Signorelli's engagement with the world around him and his interest in capturing the human experience.

"The Circumcision" by Luca Signorelli is a significant artwork that exemplifies the transition from the Early Renaissance to the High Renaissance in Italian painting. It showcases the artist's technical prowess, his innovative approach to composition, and his ability to infuse a traditional religious subject with a sense of drama and realism. The fresco remains an important cultural and historical artifact, attracting scholars and art enthusiasts to the Orvieto Cathedral to admire Signorelli's contribution to the Italian Renaissance.
