Presentation of Christ in the Temple is an oil-on-wood painting by the Italian Renaissance painter Fra Bartolomeo, most likely commissioned by Pope Leo X for the Epiphany of 1516.

The scene takes place in an environment with classical architecture, and an altar in the background surrounded by two columns, of which only the shaft and base are seen.

In the center, Simeon, the old priest, dressed with a bright red tunic, holds the Child Jesus to whom he gives his blessing.

The leisurely rhythm, the fullness of colour, the volumes and the monumental grandeur of the characters make this work an excellent example of the painter's style and, more generally, of the San Marco school whose undisputed exponent was Fra Bartolomeo.

[2] In 1781 Leopold II chose it for the Tribune of the Uffizi, giving the monks copy in return, and also a crucifix, chalices, furniture, and silver.
