"Decoration of the Sala del Gigli" is a fresco by Domenico Ghirlandaio, completed in 1484 and housed in the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence, Italy. The fresco depicts three figures representing Roman history, likely notable figures like Decius, Scipio, and Cicero, contributing to the grand decorative scheme of the Sala del Gigli. Ghirlandaio was renowned for his ability to render figures in dynamic poses, and his fresco is a testament to his mastery of perspective and detail. This work highlights the rich artistic traditions of the Florentine Renaissance and the influence of classical antiquity on art of the period.
