“Presentation Of The Virgin” is an oil-on-canvas painting of the Presentation of Mary by Tintoretto, created circa 1551-1556, in the Church of Madonna dell'Orto in Venice.[1] 

Its diagonals aim to provide a stark contrast to Titian’s 1534-1538 work of the same subject.[2]

Vasari’s Lives of the Artists calls it: “A finished work, and the best-made and most felicitous painting in that place”.[3]
