Uitstorting van de Heilige Geest 1643 - 1646

"Uitstorting van de Heilige Geest" is an engraving by Claes Jansz. Visscher, depicting the biblical event of Pentecost. The artwork, created between 1643 and 1646, shows the apostles gathered in a room, receiving the Holy Spirit as tongues of fire descend upon them. Visscher masterfully captures the awe and wonder of this moment through the expressive figures and dramatic use of light and shadow. The detailed depiction of the figures and the intricate pattern of the floor add to the realism and gravitas of the scene. The engraving is currently held in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
