Den hellige ånds sendelse 1842

"Den hellige ånds sendelse" (The Descent of the Holy Spirit), an 1842 wood engraving by Danish artist H. C. Henneberg, depicts a scene from the Bible. The artwork shows a man in a long robe, likely Jesus, preaching to a group of seated men, representing his disciples. This piece, now held in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, is a small work, measuring just 139 mm high and 88 mm wide. It exemplifies the intricate detail and expressive power of wood engraving as a medium in 19th-century art.
