Placa de Pentecostés

ca. 1150–75
On view at The Met Cloisters in Gallery 14
Esta diminuta obra maestra, realizada con más de doce tonalidades, brillantes como gemas, representa el momento en el que, según los Hechos de los Apóstoles en el Nuevo Testamento, el Espíritu Santo otorgó a los apóstoles el poder para asumir su ministerio. El quincuagésimo día después de Pascua, un sonido cual ráfaga de viento impetuoso vino del cielo y lenguas de fuego se posaron sobre los apóstoles, que pudieron hablar en otras lenguas. Aquí, la mano de Dios aparece sobre la cabeza de San Pedro, en el centro, que sostiene las llaves del cielo. Esta placa es parte de una serie hecha en la región del Mosa (hoy Francia y Bélgica), y tal vez formaba parte de un altar o púlpito.
