Domenico Bigordi, known as Ghirlandaio because he was the son of a craftsman famous for his garland‐like headdresses for women, is considered to be one of the major painters during the Renaissance. Around 1480 in particular, he became the de facto official portrait painter of Florentine high society, thanks to his precise, pleasant and quick style. He is mainly remembered for his large fresco cycles, including the Stories of St. Francis, commissioned to the artist by the Florentine banker Francesco Sassetti, who had commissioned him to fresco the family chapel in the church of Santa Trinita in Florence. The altarpiece above the altar Adoration of the Shepherds, painted in tempera on panel, is the worthy completion of his grandiose work. The reverse shows a detail from the painting Adoration of the Shepherds, on display in the Sassetti Chapel in the Basilica of Santa Trinita in Firenze. The obverse is the standard pan-European obverse for the €2 coin, showing a geographical image of Europe. The design of the obverse has remained the same since 2002, apart from an update in 2007 to include 10 new accession countries.
