Madonna of Mercy and Lamentation

c. 1472
Fresco

An influential Florentine artist during the hegemony of Lorenzo il Magnifico, Domenico Ghirlandaio had the most active painter's workshop in the city. In this early fresco of the Deposition with the Madonna of the Misericordia, Domenico had not yet achieved his unmistakable personal style.
