Heilige Geest verschijnt aan hoofdman Cornelius en de zijnen 1697

This 1697 etching, "Heilige Geest verschijnt aan hoofdman Cornelius en de zijnen," depicts the biblical story of the Holy Spirit descending upon Cornelius and his household. Created by an anonymous artist, the work portrays a scene of spiritual revelation, where the Holy Spirit, symbolized by a dove, descends from heaven, radiating light and power. The dramatic composition, with figures kneeling in prayer and reaching towards the divine light, conveys the awe and reverence of the event. This etching, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to the enduring power of biblical narratives in art.
