The Renaissance was an age of extremes. In addition to the discovery of the individual, it was characterized by an exuberant display of splendor and a worship of power and violence. In Italian city-states such as Rome, Florence and Milan, a new understanding of man and nature was developed, which found expression in timeless masterpieces of painting, architecture and sculpture. The genius not bound to any conventions and rules shaped the imagination. But art was always associated with power and equally boundless violence. Leonardo da Vinci developed a new style of art, crossing the boundaries of the technology of the time, but also devising new weapon systems that were used in brutal wars for supremacy in Italy. Nicolo Machiavelli created the ideal type of Renaissance man with his manual of power "Il Principé". But above the lust for life of the Renaissance always hovers an existential threat: the black death, the plague.
Domenico Ghirlandaio belongs to the Renaissance art system and was one of the most famous painters and fresco artists in Florence during his lifetime. The young Michelangelo entered the workshop of Master Domenico di Tommaso Curradi di Doffo Bigordi, as his full name was called, at the age of thirteen in 1487. He learnt from the successful artist the basics of painting and mosaic design. Ghirlandaio had initially aspired to an apprenticeship as a goldsmith, but eventually joined the art workshop of Alesso Baldovinetti to study painting and mosaics. He then went into business for himself and received more and more commissions from the highest social circles in Florence. The painter of paintings and frescoes proved to be extremely productive and created a large number of works of art for private and church clients. His motifs show sacred and profane themes and a strong emphasis on the social life of the Renaissance. He was considered one of the most precise observers and chroniclers of his time. The artistic highlights were commissions for the decoration of two sacred buildings: The Church of Santa Maria Novella in Florence and the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican. As was customary in the Renaissance, the artist immortalized his patrons and patrons in the sacred murals, which were exaggerated by their integration into biblical representations into the divine. Between 1485 and 1490 Ghirlandaio realized his cycle of the Virgin Mary and two other frescoes in private chapels in Florence. On the murals he paid homage to the Medici family, whose members were brought into the circle of the Virgin Mary. In 1481 and 1482 he was commissioned by the Pope to decorate part of the walls of the Sistine Chapel with his Vocation of the Apostles. His representation of the Last Supper in San Marco in Florence served Leonardo Da Vinci as a direct model for his variation.
At the age of 44, at the height of his artistic career, Ghirlandaio fell victim to the curse of his era. He died of the consequences of the plague that struck and depopulated Florence in 1494.
