More Ghirlandaio At The Basilica of Santa Trinita

Florence, like any other Italian, or, for that matter, European, city, is loaded with churches, and in the historic precincts you can never walk for more than a minute or so without passing yet another. Santa Trinita appears to be no more than a storefront in a fashionable shopping district, and we'd walked by it many times. But I'd read that it held a Ghirlandaio masterpiece, and so this time we stopped in. (The main chapel frescoes at SM Novella are by Ghirlandaio, who, by the way, was Michaelangelo's teacher). You never know what treasures are lurking in these places.

Better commentary than I can provide

With the Divine Illumination lights on
