{"product_id":"herods-banquet-domenico-ghirlandaio","title":"Herod's Banquet - Domenico Ghirlandaio","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed reproduction of Domenico Ghirlandaio's Renaissance fresco from the Tornabuoni Chapel, capturing the architectural precision and narrative clarity of the Florentine school.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis composition forms part of the cycle of frescoes within the Tornabuoni Chapel in the Basilica of Santa Maria Novella, Florence. Domenico Ghirlandaio, a master of the Florentine school, depicts the biblical narrative of Herod's banquet with a focus on architectural order and contemporary social observation. The scene is structured within a classical loggia, demonstrating the artist's command of linear perspective to create a sense of depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the foreground, Salome performs her dance, a figure rendered with fluid movement that contrasts with the static, seated guests at the table. Ghirlandaio populates the scene with figures dressed in the fashion of late fifteenth-century Florence, grounding the ancient narrative in the reality of his own time. The architectural elements, including the coffered ceiling and the arched openings, provide a rigid frame for the human drama.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe upper register focuses on the banquet itself, while the lower portion of the wall features the Baptism of Christ, another component of the same commission. The colour palette is balanced, utilising earth tones alongside the saturated reds and blues typical of the period's fresco technique. Ghirlandaio avoids excessive ornamentation, preferring instead to direct the viewer's eye through the clear arrangement of figures and the receding lines of the floor tiles. This work reflects the artist's ability to synthesise religious subject matter with the humanistic values of the Renaissance, presenting a scene that is both orderly and narratively dense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portrait-of-charles-i-of-england-anthony-van-dyck\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Charles I of England - Anthony van Dyck — Anthony van Dyck\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/apotheosis-of-hercules-giovanni-domenico-tiepolo\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eApotheosis of Hercules - Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo — Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Domenico Ghirlandaio","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58479414772047,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58479416279375,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58479416312143,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58479416344911,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58479416377679,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58479416410447,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58479416443215,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58479416475983,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58479416508751,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58479416541519,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58479416574287,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58479416607055,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Herod-s-Banquet_Poster_CompositorV1_1786336465015.jpg?v=1786753909","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/herods-banquet-domenico-ghirlandaio","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
