Domenico Ghirlandaio
Domenico Ghirlandaio Biography
Domenico di Tommaso Bigordi called Domenico Ghirlandaio (1449 Florence – 1494 Florence) was one of the most popular Florentine artists of his time. His father, Tommaso di Curradi Bigordi, had a business with jewellery, and Domenico started as a goldsmith. His nickname of Ghirlandaio, i. e. the "Garland-maker", came from his speciality, namely, the manufacture of silver or gold crowns or diadems, popular with young women of Florence.
