"The Descent of the Holy Spirit" is a fresco by the Italian Renaissance artist Bernardino di Betto, known as Pinturicchio. This artwork is part of a series of frescoes created by Pinturicchio in the late 15th century for the Borgia Apartments, a suite of rooms in the Apostolic Palace in the Vatican, which were commissioned by Pope Alexander VI. 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 (2:1–31).

Pinturicchio, renowned for his intricate and decorative style, has imbued this work with the characteristic elegance and rich detail that define his oeuvre. The fresco features the apostles seated in a semicircular arrangement, with the Virgin Mary often placed at the center, as tongues of fire descend upon each figure, symbolizing the Holy Spirit bestowing the apostles with the ability to speak in various languages to spread the Christian faith.

The artwork is notable for its harmonious composition, the use of vibrant colors, and the inclusion of Renaissance architectural elements that provide a sense of depth and perspective. Pinturicchio's mastery in conveying the divine nature of the scene is evident in the ethereal quality of the light and the serene expressions of the figures.

"The Descent of the Holy Spirit" by Pinturicchio is considered an important example of High Renaissance art and reflects the religious and cultural milieu of the period. The fresco remains an integral part of the Borgia Apartments, which have been preserved and are now part of the Vatican Museums, offering visitors a glimpse into the artistic achievements of the Renaissance and the religious narratives that shaped the era.
