"Pentecost" is a renowned fresco by the Italian Mannerist artist Federico Zuccaro (also known as Federico Zuccari), completed in the late 16th century. The fresco is located in the dome of the Church of the Gesù, the mother church of the Society of Jesus in Rome, Italy. This work is part of a larger decorative program within the church, which was the first Jesuit church in Rome and has served as a model for Jesuit churches worldwide.

The fresco depicts the biblical event of Pentecost, as described in the Acts of the Apostles (Chapter 2, verses 1–31), where the Holy Spirit descends upon the Apostles and other followers of Jesus Christ while they are gathered in the Upper Room, fifty days after the Resurrection of Christ. This event marks the birth of the Church and the beginning of the Apostles' ministry.

Zuccaro's rendition of Pentecost is characterized by its dynamic composition and the use of vivid colors to convey the drama and spiritual intensity of the scene. The Apostles are shown in a variety of expressive poses, reflecting the overwhelming experience of receiving the Holy Spirit, which is symbolized by tongues of fire descending from above. The Virgin Mary is often depicted at the center of the composition, serving as a stabilizing and unifying presence among the diverse reactions of the Apostles.

Federico Zuccaro, born in 1540/1541 and passing in 1609, was an influential figure in the late Renaissance, known for his frescoes in various churches and secular buildings in Italy and beyond. His work on the Pentecost fresco in the Church of the Gesù is considered one of his masterpieces and reflects the Counter-Reformation's emphasis on dramatic and emotional religious art that was intended to inspire devotion and reinforce Catholic doctrine during a time of religious upheaval in Europe.

The fresco of Pentecost by Federico Zuccaro remains an important example of Mannerist art and a significant piece within the context of Counter-Reformation aesthetics. It continues to attract scholars, art enthusiasts, and religious pilgrims, contributing to the rich artistic heritage of the Church of the Gesù and the broader narrative of Italian Renaissance art.
