Das Pfingstwunder, also known as "The Pentecost," is an engraving by the renowned Dutch artist Cornelis Cort, created in the late 16th century. Cort, born in 1533, was a pivotal figure in the Northern Renaissance, known for his exceptional skill in engraving and his ability to translate the works of other artists into detailed prints. His works played a significant role in disseminating the artistic styles and religious themes of the Renaissance across Europe.

The engraving depicts the biblical event of Pentecost, as described in the Acts of the Apostles (Acts 2:1-4), where the Holy Spirit descends upon the Apostles and other followers of Jesus Christ, enabling them to speak in various tongues. This moment is considered the birth of the Christian Church, making it a subject of profound religious significance. In Das Pfingstwunder, Cort captures the dramatic intensity of this event with meticulous detail and expressive figures.

The composition of the engraving is dynamic, with the Apostles and the Virgin Mary at the center, surrounded by a radiant light symbolizing the Holy Spirit. The figures are portrayed with a sense of movement and emotion, reflecting the transformative power of the divine encounter. Cort's use of light and shadow enhances the dramatic effect, drawing the viewer's eye to the central action while also highlighting the intricate details of the surrounding figures and architectural elements.

Cornelis Cort's ability to convey complex religious narratives through his engravings made him a sought-after artist in his time. His works were widely circulated, influencing both contemporary and later artists. Das Pfingstwunder stands as a testament to his mastery of the engraving technique and his contribution to the visual culture of the Renaissance.
