The Presentation of Jesus at the Temple by Giotto di Bondone, frescoed between 1303 and 1305 in the Scrovegni Chapel in Padua, depicts the Gospel episode in which Mary and Joseph bring the Child to the Temple of Jerusalem to consecrate him to the Lord. At the center of the scene, the elderly Simeon embraces Jesus with emotion, recognizing him as the promised Messiah. Nearby, the prophetess Anna bears witness to the miracle, while Mary and Joseph stand respectfully and attentively. Giotto constructs the setting with architectural balance and perspective depth, lending the temple a solemn monumentality.
The gentle expressions of the faces and the measured gestures reveal the artist's human and spiritual sensitivity, renewing sacred painting by making the sense of devotion and family intimacy tangible. The work combines compositional rigor and profound religious emotion, anticipating Renaissance painting.
