Summary

Description

Niccolò da Bologna's tempera and gold on parchment, 1394-1402, J. Paul Getty Trust. This illuminated letter 'S' is one of twenty known large historiated initials made for a choir book commissioned by the Carthusian monastery of Santo Spirito in Lucca.

It portrays Pentecost, the moment in which the Holy Spirit descends upon the twelve apostles in order to give them the ability to speak foreign languages so they might preach throughout the world. Although all twelve apostles are shown, sometimes only a forehead or a hint of a nose indicates the body.
