"Studies After The Antique" is a series of artworks attributed to the Italian Renaissance painter Domenico Ghirlandaio (1449–1494). Ghirlandaio, renowned for his fresco work and portraiture, was an influential figure in the Florentine art scene, and his works are celebrated for their narrative clarity and detailed representation of contemporary life. The "Studies After The Antique" likely refers to a collection of drawings or sketches wherein Ghirlandaio studied classical sculptures and motifs, a common practice among Renaissance artists seeking to revive the aesthetics and techniques of ancient Greece and Rome.

These studies would have served multiple purposes: as exercises in understanding the human form, as a means of exploring the proportions and ideals of beauty established by classical artists, and as a repository of motifs and figures that could be incorporated into his larger works. Such studies were part of the broader cultural movement of the Renaissance, which placed a high value on the rediscovery and emulation of classical art and literature.

While specific pieces from "Studies After The Antique" by Ghirlandaio may not be well-documented or may not have survived to the present day, the practice itself was integral to the artist's development and to the Renaissance as a whole. These studies would have contributed to Ghirlandaio's mastery of fresco techniques and his ability to render figures with a sense of volume and grace, as seen in his major works like the frescoes in the Tornabuoni Chapel in Florence.

As an artist who influenced others, including the young Michelangelo who was an apprentice in his workshop, Ghirlandaio's engagement with classical forms played a role in the transmission of Renaissance ideals. The "Studies After The Antique" would exemplify the period's intellectual curiosity and the synthesis of new and old artistic traditions that characterized the work of Ghirlandaio and his contemporaries.
