No. 19, Scenes from the Life of Christ: 3. Presentation of Christ at the Temple, is a fresco by the Italian master Giotto di Bondone, painted around 1304-1306 as part of a larger series decorating the Scrovegni Chapel in Padua, Italy. This work is one of a cycle of 37 scenes depicting various events from the lives of the Virgin Mary and Jesus Christ. Giotto's frescoes in the chapel are considered a milestone in the development of Western art because they introduced a new realism and emotional depth to the depiction of sacred subjects, breaking away from the stylized Byzantine tradition that had dominated medieval art.

The Presentation of Christ at the Temple illustrates the biblical event described in the Gospel of Luke, where Mary and Joseph take the infant Jesus to the Temple in Jerusalem to perform the rituals required by Jewish law following the birth of a firstborn son. The scene typically includes the figures of Simeon and the prophetess Anna, who recognize the child as the Messiah. Giotto's interpretation of this event is noted for its humanism and the use of space to create a sense of depth, a technique that was innovative at the time.

In the fresco, Giotto arranges the figures in a manner that directs the viewer's attention to the central action of Simeon receiving Jesus. The artist's use of chiaroscuro, or the contrast between light and dark, helps to model the figures in three dimensions, giving them a solidity and presence that was unprecedented in Italian fresco painting. The expressions on the faces of the characters convey a range of emotions, from the solemnity of the ritual to the joy and wonder of the divine revelation.

As part of the Scrovegni Chapel frescoes, No. 19, Scenes from the Life of Christ: 3. Presentation of Christ at the Temple, is considered a key work in Giotto's oeuvre and a significant contribution to the Proto-Renaissance period. The frescoes have been extensively studied and are widely regarded as some of the most important works in the history of Western art. They have been preserved and restored several times since their creation, allowing modern audiences to appreciate Giotto's revolutionary approach to painting and narrative storytelling.
