Domenico Ghirlandaio - Portrait of an old man with a grandson (c. 1488)


Among the painters of the Florentine area, Ghirlandaio is one of the most refined and cultured. The past, the story to tell, the religious value merge together in his works creating real documents of custom and culture.
Alongside the more public aspect, he also flanks the most intimate and personal scenes. Perhaps with this double portrait we can fantasize: that you are that Francesco Sassetti of Santa Trinita?
