"Descent of the Holy Ghost" is a woodcut print by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, created as part of his larger work, the "Small Passion" series, which was completed around 1510. The series comprises 37 woodcuts illustrating the Passion of Christ, from the Last Supper to the Resurrection and Ascension. In "Descent of the Holy Ghost," Dürer depicts the biblical event of Pentecost, where the Holy Spirit is said to have descended upon the apostles and other followers of Jesus Christ, as described in the Acts of the Apostles (Acts 2:1–31).

The woodcut shows a group of figures gathered in a room, with the Virgin Mary often placed centrally, as tongues of fire descend upon their heads, symbolizing the Holy Spirit granting them the ability to speak in different languages. Dürer's work is noted for its intricate detail and the emotional expressiveness of the figures, which was characteristic of his artistry and reflective of the Northern Renaissance's focus on realism and human emotion.

Dürer's "Descent of the Holy Ghost" is not only a significant piece within the "Small Passion" series but also an important work within his entire oeuvre. It showcases his mastery of the woodcut medium and his ability to convey complex theological themes through visual art. The print has been widely studied for its artistic merit, iconography, and its role in the context of the Protestant Reformation, which was gaining momentum during the time of its creation.

As with many of Dürer's prints, "Descent of the Holy Ghost" has been reproduced and studied extensively, and original impressions are held in various museum collections around the world. The work remains an important example of Dürer's contribution to the history of printmaking and his lasting impact on the visual representation of religious narratives.
