''Presentation at the Temple'' (1460-64) is a painting by the Italian Renaissance master Giovanni Bellini, currently housed in the Fondazione Querini Stampalia, in Venice, Italy. This early work of Bellini, created using tempera on wood, showcases the artist's burgeoning skill and his engagement with the religious themes that were prevalent in the art of the period. The painting measures 80 cm × 105 cm (31 in × 41 in) and depicts the biblical scene of the Presentation of Jesus at the Temple, a subject commonly represented in Christian art, stemming from the Gospel of Luke, 2:22–40.

In this composition, Bellini illustrates the moment when the Virgin Mary and Saint Joseph bring the infant Jesus to the temple to perform the rites required by Jewish law. The scene is populated by key figures: the aged Simeon, who holds the Christ child and recognizes him as the Messiah, and the prophetess Anna, who is also present to witness the event. The work is noted for its emotional depth and the serene, yet solemn expressions of the figures, which reflect the spiritual significance of the event.

The painting is remarkable for its use of perspective and the detailed architectural setting, which demonstrates Bellini's knowledge of contemporary developments in perspective and space representation, influenced by his brother-in-law, Andrea Mantegna. The use of light and color in the painting is also noteworthy, as it contributes to the overall mood and highlights Bellini's early mastery of these elements, which would become hallmarks of his mature style.

''Presentation at the Temple'' is an important work in Bellini's oeuvre as it marks a transition from the Gothic style to the more naturalistic approach of the Renaissance. It also provides insight into the cultural and artistic milieu of Venice in the mid-15th century, a time when the city was becoming a major center of art and culture. Bellini's contribution to the Venetian school of painting was significant, and this work is a testament to his early development as a leading artist of the Renaissance.
