Painting by Tintoretto
Presentation of the Virgin (c. 1551-1556) by Tintoretto
Presentation of the Virgin is an oil on canvas painting of the
Presentation of Mary by
Tintoretto, created c. 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".
