"Pentecost" is a miniature painting from a manuscript produced around the mid-13th century by an anonymous artist. The scene depicts the biblical event of Pentecost, where the Holy Spirit descends on the Virgin Mary and the Apostles, represented as a dove. This iconic image is presented in a colorful and stylized manner typical of medieval illuminated manuscripts, with the Virgin Mary seated centrally, crowned and surrounded by the Apostles, radiating a sense of divine power.
