Titian: Presentation of the Virgin in the Temple (Presentazione della Vergine al Tempio). A grand, architectural scene showing the young Virgin ascending temple steps, rich in detail and dramatic composition. It still hangs in its original position in the Sala dell’Albergo with its decorative ceiling.
Visit the Gallerie dell’Accademia, the top art museum in Venice, to see masterpieces by Titian, Bellini, Veronese, Tintoretto, and, with a bit of luck, Leonardo da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man.
