"Announcement of Death to St. Fina" is a 1475 fresco by Domenico Ghirlandaio depicting the death of Saint Fina, a young woman known for her piety and healing abilities. The central figure of St. Fina lies on a bed, surrounded by mourners. A vision of St. Peter, surrounded by angels, appears in a window, announcing Fina's impending death. The scene's realism and emotional depth are characteristic of Ghirlandaio's Early Renaissance style.
