''Presentation at the Temple'' is a tempera painting on canvas by the Italian Renaissance artist Andrea Mantegna, dated to around 1460. The work depicts the biblical scene of the Presentation of Jesus at the Temple, a subject frequently represented in Christian art, illustrating the moment when Mary and Joseph bring the infant Jesus to the Temple in Jerusalem to perform the rituals as prescribed by Jewish law.

Mantegna's interpretation of this scene is noted for its architectural precision and the use of perspective, a hallmark of the artist's work and a testament to the influence of the early Renaissance's focus on realism and depth. The painting is characterized by its clarity of line and meticulous attention to detail, which is evident in the rendering of the figures' garments and the temple's structure. The figures are arranged in a semicircular composition, with the High Priest Simeon at the center, about to receive the Christ Child from the Virgin Mary. The figures are imbued with a solemnity and gravity that reflect the spiritual significance of the event.

The painting is also remarkable for its early use of canvas, a medium that Mantegna experimented with before it became common in Italian Renaissance painting. ''Presentation at the Temple'' is often praised for its innovative combination of classical elements with the more contemporary techniques and styles of the Quattrocento.

Originally part of the collection of the Gonzaga family in Mantua, the painting is now housed in the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance. Mantegna's work on this piece has contributed to his reputation as one of the foremost artists of the Italian Renaissance, and ''Presentation at the Temple'' remains an important example of his mastery of perspective and his ability to convey narrative through composition and detail.
