# Presentation of Mary to the Temple [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [RENI, Guido]() - Date: 1601-1650 - Technique: Fresco ## Commentary In the lunettes of the main room the scenes Presentation of Mary to the Temple \(left\) and Annunciation to Coaching \(right\) are depicted. The two paintings were executed by Giovanni Lanfranco and Antonio Carracci, possibly after their own design sketches. Nevertheless, there is no doubt that Reni was responsible for the overall planning of the decoration, and purportedly engaged the other painters only because the pope wished it. ## Related artworks - [Adam]() - [Angel of the Annunciation]() - [Annunciation to Joachim]() - [Atalanta and Hippomenes]() - [Atalanta and Hippomenes]() - [Aurora]() - [Aurora]() - [Baptism of Christ]() - [Birth of the Virgin \(detail\)]() - [Birth of the Virgin]() - [Cleopatra]() - [Cleopatra with the Asp]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
