"Uitstorting van de Heilige Geest" is an etching by Zacharias Dolendo, created in c. 1599. The print depicts the biblical event of Pentecost, where the Holy Spirit descends on the Apostles in the form of tongues of fire. Dolendo, known for his mastery of detail, captures the scene with a sense of drama and spiritual intensity. The intricate ornamentation and the use of light and shadow contribute to the sense of grandeur. This etching is a fine example of the 16th-century Dutch tradition of religious art, with its focus on biblical narratives and the power of faith.
