Holy Spirit Descends Upon the Apostles 1670

Editor: This is Melchior Küsel’s print, "Holy Spirit Descends Upon the Apostles," and the way the light pours down feels almost theatrical. What do you see in this piece? Curator: Ah, it’s as if the heavens are a baroque stage, isn't it? The dove, that radiant burst... it's not just light, it's palpable energy. The apostles seem caught between awe and, dare I say, a bit of bewilderment. Doesn't it make you wonder what they're truly feeling in that moment? Editor: It does make you wonder what's happening! So much to think about. Curator: Exactly! Art that sparks questions is art that truly lives.
