"The Presentation of the Virgin in the Temple" is a significant early 16th-century fresco by the Italian Renaissance artist Giovanni Antonio Bazzi, better known as Il Sodoma. Created in 1518, this artwork is part of a series of frescoes that adorn the walls of the Benedictine monastery of Monte Oliveto Maggiore in Tuscany, Italy. The fresco depicts the biblical event of the young Virgin Mary being presented at the Temple by her parents, Joachim and Anne, a narrative derived from the apocryphal Protoevangelium of James rather than the canonical texts of the New Testament.

Il Sodoma's rendition of this scene is notable for its harmonious composition and the delicate interplay of colors that enhance the narrative's spiritual significance. The fresco showcases the artist's mastery of spatial illusion and his ability to convey the solemnity of the event while also capturing the emotional nuances of the figures involved. The Virgin, depicted as a young girl, is seen ascending the Temple steps, symbolizing her purity and her dedication to God, a theme that resonated with the religious sensibilities of the time.

The fresco is part of a larger decorative program within the monastery that was commissioned to Il Sodoma and his contemporary, Luca Signorelli. Il Sodoma's contribution to this program has been celebrated for its artistic innovation and its influence on the development of High Renaissance art in the region. "The Presentation of the Virgin in the Temple" stands as a testament to Il Sodoma's skill in fresco technique and his ability to infuse traditional religious subjects with a sense of grace and humanity. The work remains an important piece within the oeuvre of Il Sodoma and a valuable cultural artifact of Renaissance Italy.
