The Visitation by Ghirlandaio (1449-1494)


 

This old painting is of Mary visiting her cousin Elizabeth.  The women in the picture seem serene.  They are glowing.

 

The artist trained Michelangelo in fresco techniques.

 

He was the eldest of eight children.  He initially trained as a goldsmith.

 

I hope you enjoy this as much as I do.
