"Pentecost" is a 1642 oil painting by Dutch Golden Age artist Salomon de Bray. The painting depicts the biblical event of Pentecost, where the Holy Spirit descends upon the Apostles and other followers of Jesus Christ, as described in the Acts of the Apostles 2:1–31. This event marks a significant moment in Christian theology, symbolizing the birth of the Church through the gift of the Holy Spirit.

In Bray's rendition, the scene is set in an architectural space reminiscent of a church interior, enhancing the sacred context of the event. The composition is centered around the figure of the Virgin Mary, who is often included in depictions of Pentecost in Western art, despite her not being mentioned in the biblical text at this particular event. Surrounding her are the Apostles, depicted in a range of emotional states, from awe to fervent prayer, as tongues of fire rest upon their heads.

Salomon de Bray was known for his history paintings, portraits, and architectural pieces. His works often reflected his thorough knowledge of classical antiquity and the Renaissance, which is evident in the classical architectural elements present in "Pentecost." This painting not only showcases his skill in composition and ability to convey deep religious emotion but also serves as a reflection of the religious and cultural milieu of the 17th-century Dutch Republic.

"Pentecost" by Salomon de Bray is housed in a notable museum collection, contributing to its recognition and study in the context of Dutch art history and religious representation in art. The painting is appreciated for its artistic merit as well as its depiction of a pivotal moment in Christian history, rendered with a balance of drama and reverence.
