Confirmation of the Rule 1485

"Confirmation of the Rule" (1485) is a fresco by Domenico Ghirlandaio, one of the most celebrated Florentine artists of the late 15th century. This piece, likely from a larger series, depicts a scene of St. Francis of Assisi receiving confirmation for his Order. The artist's signature style is evident through the realistic details of the figures and the architectural setting, all rendered in a warm, harmonious palette. Ghirlandaio's work exemplifies the High Renaissance's interest in perspective, anatomy, and depicting everyday life with reverence and detail.
