"Pentecostes" (1620) by Spanish painter Juan Bautista Maíno depicts the biblical event of Pentecost, where the Holy Spirit descended upon the apostles as tongues of fire. The painting, now located in the Museo del Prado in Madrid, features a central figure of the Virgin Mary surrounded by the apostles, with a dove representing the Holy Spirit descending from the heavens. Maíno's use of vibrant colors and dramatic lighting emphasizes the divine presence and the transformative power of the Holy Spirit.
