"No. 8 Scenes from the Life of the Virgin - 2. Presentation of the Virgin in the Temple" is a fresco by the Italian artist Giotto di Bondone, created around 1304-1306 as part of a series depicting various events from the life of the Virgin Mary. This work is located within the Scrovegni Chapel (Cappella degli Scrovegni) in Padua, Italy, which houses a cycle of Giotto's frescoes that are considered to be one of his masterpieces and a crucial development in the history of Western art.

The fresco illustrates the biblical episode of the Presentation of the Virgin Mary in the Temple, as recounted in the apocryphal Protoevangelium of James. According to this tradition, Mary, as a young girl, was brought to the Temple in Jerusalem by her parents, Joachim and Anne, to be consecrated to God. The scene typically depicts the Virgin ascending the Temple steps, symbolizing her purity and dedication, while her parents and other figures look on.

Giotto's interpretation of this event is notable for its emotional depth and the use of space to create a sense of three-dimensionality, which was revolutionary at the time. The artist's ability to convey the human experience through gestures and expressions is evident in this fresco, as is his use of architectural elements to frame the narrative and guide the viewer's eye through the composition.

The "Presentation of the Virgin in the Temple" is part of a larger narrative cycle that covers the life of the Virgin Mary and the life and Passion of Christ. Giotto's frescoes in the Scrovegni Chapel are celebrated for their departure from the stylized Byzantine tradition of the time, moving towards a more naturalistic and human-centered approach that would come to define the Renaissance.

As a key work within the Scrovegni Chapel, this fresco contributes to the overall understanding of Giotto's innovative style and his impact on the trajectory of European painting. The fresco has been the subject of extensive art historical research and is often cited for its influence on the development of narrative in Western art.
