''Presentation of the Virgin at the Temple'' is a fresco by the Italian Renaissance artist Domenico Ghirlandaio, completed around 1491. The artwork is part of a series of frescoes that adorn the walls of the Tornabuoni Chapel in Santa Maria Novella, Florence, which is considered one of Ghirlandaio's masterpieces. The chapel was commissioned by Giovanni Tornabuoni, a wealthy Florentine banker and patron of the arts, who entrusted Ghirlandaio with the task of decorating the family's chapel.

The fresco depicts the biblical event of the Virgin Mary, as a young girl, being presented at the Temple by her parents, Joachim and Anne. This scene is celebrated in the Christian liturgical calendar as the Feast of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Ghirlandaio's interpretation of the event is noted for its architectural precision, the elegance of the figures, and the vivid narrative quality that characterizes his work.

In the composition, the young Mary is shown ascending the Temple steps, about to be received by the High Priest. The scene is set within a grand architectural setting that reflects the Renaissance interest in perspective and classical architecture. The figures in the fresco are depicted in contemporary Florentine attire, which was a common practice of Renaissance artists to bridge the gap between sacred events and the viewers' world.

Ghirlandaio's fresco is also remarkable for its inclusion of portraits of notable figures of the time, which was another characteristic of his work. Among the onlookers in the scene, members of the Tornabuoni family and other prominent Florentines are thought to be represented, thus immortalizing their images within the sacred narrative.

The ''Presentation of the Virgin at the Temple'' is celebrated for its artistry and its role in the development of Renaissance art in Florence. It showcases Ghirlandaio's skill in composition, his use of color, and his ability to infuse a traditional religious subject with the grandeur and detail of contemporary Florentine life. The fresco remains an important example of Ghirlandaio's contribution to the artistic heritage of the Renaissance and continues to attract scholars and art enthusiasts to the Tornabuoni Chapel.
