Formella raffigurante la Pentecoste

ca. 1150–75
On view at The Met Cloisters in Gallery 14
Questo piccolo capolavoro, ravvivato da oltre dodici preziose sfumature di colore, rappresenta il momento in cui, secondo gli Atti degli Apostoli nel Nuovo Testamento, lo Spirito Santo discese sugli apostoli donando loro la facoltà di predicare in diverse lingue. Cinquanta giorni dopo la Pasqua, dal cielo giunse un rombo simile ad un vento impetuoso, lingue di fuoco serpeggiarono sopra gli apostoli e questi si ritrovarono in grado di parlare altre lingue. La mano di Dio è posta al di sopra del capo di San Pietro che, seduto al centro tra gli apostoli, tiene le chiavi del paradiso. Questa formella fa parte di una serie eseguita nella regione della Mosa (Francia e Belgio odierni), forse per un altare o un pulpito.
