"Descent of the Holy Spirit" is a 14th-century fresco by the Italian painter Andrea Bonaiuti da Firenze, also known as Andrea da Firenze. This artwork is part of a series of frescoes created by the artist for the Spanish Chapel (Cappellone degli Spagnoli) of the Santa Maria Novella in Florence, Italy. The fresco 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).

Andrea Bonaiuti, active between 1343 and 1377, was a prominent Florentine painter whose works are considered significant in the development of the Italian Gothic style. His representation of the Pentecost in the "Descent of the Holy Spirit" is notable for its vivid portrayal of the Apostles and the Virgin Mary, who are shown seated in a semicircle, receiving the Holy Spirit in the form of tongues of fire. The fresco is characterized by its detailed figures, the use of perspective, and the intricate patterns and decorations that were typical of the Gothic style of the period.

The fresco forms part of a larger narrative cycle within the Spanish Chapel, which was designed to convey theological and didactic messages to its viewers. Andrea Bonaiuti's work in the chapel is celebrated for its cohesive iconographic program, which integrates various theological themes into a visual whole. The "Descent of the Holy Spirit" is particularly significant as it captures a moment of divine intervention and the establishment of the Church, themes that resonated with the religious and political context of 14th-century Florence.

As a work of art, "Descent of the Holy Spirit" reflects the religious fervor of the time and provides insight into the spiritual and artistic aspirations of the Italian Renaissance precursor movements. The fresco is an important example of Andrea Bonaiuti's oeuvre and contributes to our understanding of the artistic innovations that were taking place in Florence during the second half of the 14th century.
