The Appearance of the Holy Spirit

A golden right hand appears in the sky, radiating light. Devils and demons flee from it. That seems to be a reference to Matthew 12:28, where Jesus casts out devils through the Holy Spirit.

The light also shines on a group of believers. That could be a reference to the outpouring of the Holy Spirit; the believers would then be the apostles.

Fouquet set the scene in medieval Paris. Notre Dame is easy to spot. The bridge is a predecessor of the current Pont Saint-Michel. The image is one of the oldest accurate depictions of the city that still exist.
