Pinksteren: Uitstorting van de Heilige Geest 1590 - 1622

This print, "Pinksteren: Uitstorting van de Heilige Geest" (1590-1622) by Boëtius Adamsz. Bolswert, depicts the biblical event of Pentecost, where the Holy Spirit descended upon the Apostles in the form of tongues of fire. The scene is set in a room with a group of figures, including Jesus' mother Mary, gathered around a balcony where the Apostles are receiving the Holy Spirit. This engraving, a common form of art during the 16th and 17th centuries, uses rich detail and intricate lines to depict the event and its significance. The work is currently located in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
