Uitstorting van de Heilige Geest 1582 - 1613

"Uitstorting van de Heilige Geest" is an etching created by Pieter van der (I) Borcht between 1582 and 1613. The print depicts the biblical story of Pentecost, where the Holy Spirit descends upon the Apostles in the form of tongues of fire. The scene is divided into two parts: the interior of a room where the apostles are gathered, and the exterior where people are reacting to the event. The print is an example of the artistic style of Northern Mannerism, characterized by its use of intricate detail and dramatic composition. The piece, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a small yet impactful work of art that showcases the skill of Pieter van der (I) Borcht.
