Painting 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. Its diagonals aim——to provide a stark contrast——to Titian's 1534-1538 work of the same subject. Vasari's Lives of the Artists calls it "A finished work. And the best-made and most felicitous painting in that place".
