"Scenes from the Life of Christ: 3. Presentation at the Temple (detail)" is a fresco by the Italian artist Giotto di Bondone, created between 1304 and 1306. This work is part of a larger series of frescoes that adorn the walls of the Scrovegni Chapel in Padua, Italy, also known as the Arena Chapel. Giotto's frescoes in the chapel are considered one of the masterpieces of Western art and a seminal work of the early Renaissance, marking a departure from the Byzantine style of the medieval period towards a more naturalistic approach.

The "Presentation at the Temple" scene is a depiction of 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 ritual purification after childbirth and to complete Mary's ritual purification after childbirth, as prescribed by Jewish law. In the fresco, Giotto captures the moment when the aged Simeon, a righteous and devout man who had been promised by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he had seen the Messiah, takes Jesus into his arms and blesses him. The scene is rich with religious symbolism and emotional depth, showcasing Giotto's innovative use of space, composition, and human expression.

Giotto's frescoes are noted for their architectural perspective, which was revolutionary at the time, and for the way they convey the human and divine aspects of the stories from Christ's life. In the "Presentation at the Temple," Giotto uses light, shadow, and perspective to create a sense of three-dimensionality and to direct the viewer's attention to the central figures of Mary, Joseph, Jesus, and Simeon. The fresco is also significant for its portrayal of the figures with weight and volume, as well as the use of gestures and facial expressions to convey emotion, a technique that would influence countless artists in the centuries to come.

As a key work within the Scrovegni Chapel, the "Presentation at the Temple" reflects Giotto's mastery of fresco technique and his pivotal role in the development of Italian Renaissance painting. The fresco is a testament to the artist's ability to combine theological themes with a groundbreaking naturalistic style, setting the stage for the evolution of European art.
