The Purification of the Virgin is a painting in tempera on panel from an altarpiece by Benozzo Gozzoli and once owned by the Compagnia di Santa Maria della Purificazione e di San Zanobi of Florence, Italy.

This panel is part of a predella, or a series of narrative scenes below the main depiction above in a polyptych.

The company sponsored services in the Convent of San Marco in Florence, and was patronized by the Medici family.

According to Jewish law, a first-born child needs to be brought about a month after birth to the temple for redemption (pidyon haben) and a post-partum mother requires ritual purification.

There are gilded haloes identifying the five sanctified individuals in the scene: Joseph, Mary (center in typical blue and red gown), Jesus, Simeon with a bishop's mitre, and Anna with an unrolled scroll on the left.
