This fine Presentation in the Temple is by Ambrogio Lorenzetti. I especially love the green colors in the stonework, and the various fabrics. Take a look, for example, at the colors in Mary's head-covering. Joseph, Mary, and two companions are on the left; Simeon and Anna are on the right.
This version of the painting comes to us courteous of the remarkable Google Art project. The work itself resides in the Uffizi Gallery, Florence, Italy. Further information is available at the Web Gallery of Art.
Note: I've posted a link to this work before. It's always worth another look, in my opinion. In any event, the glories of Google Art make a new post almost mandatory.
