This painting is likely to have originally appeared to the right of the main scene showing the Crucifixion. Shortly after birth, Jewish boys were required by religious law to be presented at the temple to be consecrated. Here, the Virgin Mary is about to hand Christ over to the priest. This is Simeon, who is described in the Gospel of Luke as recognising Christ’s divinity and significance at this moment (Luke 2: 28–30). Simeon was one of the saints to whom the altarpiece was dedicated. The artist has set this biblical event in a contemporary setting that would be familiar to worshippers. The temple, for example, is represented as a Gothic church with a high vaulted roof and decorative leaded windows.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgallery.org.uk\/paintings\/master-of-liesborn-johann-von-soest-the-presentation-in-the-temple\" title=\"National Gallery of Art London - The Presentation in the Temple\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eNational Gallery of Art, London\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Johann Von Soest","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":50509846282483,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (38 3\/4\" x 27 5\/8\")","offer_id":50509846315251,"sku":null,"price":1766.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (21 1\/8\" x 15\")","offer_id":50509846348019,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (26\" x 18 1\/2\")","offer_id":50509846380787,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (31 3\/4\" x 22 1\/2\")","offer_id":50509846413555,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (41\" x 29 1\/8\")","offer_id":50509846446323,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (49 1\/4\" x 34 7\/8\")","offer_id":50509846479091,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (58\" x 41 1\/4\")","offer_id":50509846511859,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (69 5\/8\" x 49 1\/4\")","offer_id":50509846544627,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/ThePresentationintheTemple_cbfad610-c411-4d24-870b-75c81fce0667.jpg?v=1789720183","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/the-presentation-in-the-temple-ngal1233","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
