"Pentecost" by Simon Bening is a masterful example of early 16th-century Flemish manuscript illumination. Simon Bening (circa 1483–1561) was a prominent figure in the Ghent-Bruges school of manuscript illumination, renowned for his intricate and vibrant miniatures. The work depicts the Christian feast of Pentecost, which commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles and other followers of Jesus Christ, as described in the Acts of the Apostles (Acts 2:1–31). This event is considered the "birthday" of the Christian Church.

Bening's "Pentecost" is celebrated for its meticulous attention to detail, rich coloration, and the expressive portrayal of figures. The composition typically features the Virgin Mary and the apostles gathered in a room, with tongues of fire appearing above their heads, symbolizing the Holy Spirit. The scene is often set against a backdrop of elaborate architectural elements and lush landscapes, showcasing Bening's skill in creating depth and perspective within the confined space of a manuscript page.

The work exemplifies the transition from the medieval to the Renaissance style in Northern European art, blending Gothic intricacy with emerging Renaissance naturalism. Bening's use of light and shadow, along with his ability to capture the emotional intensity of the moment, marks a significant development in the art of illumination.

"Pentecost" by Simon Bening is not only a religious icon but also a testament to the high level of craftsmanship and artistic innovation during the period. It reflects the broader cultural and spiritual currents of the time, offering insight into the devotional practices and artistic tastes of the early 16th century. Today, Bening's works, including "Pentecost," are highly valued by art historians and collectors, and they continue to be studied for their technical brilliance and historical significance.
