Detail of the Pentecost Triptych

Detail of the work presented by Juan Luis, along with four portraits, at the 1920 National Exhibition, where it earned him the first medal. Initially placed in the Chapel of the Holy Spirit, it was later moved to the Chapel of the Communion, where it remained abandoned until the early 21st century.
The central panel depicts the Descent of the Holy Spirit, with Mary enthroned and surrounded by eleven apostles, each individually characterized in expression and attire, set within a Neo-Gothic architectural frame and in front of a lush landscape. Above the scene, the nimbused dove symbolizes the Holy Spirit.
The left panel features Saint Elizabeth of Portugal arriving in Santiago in 1326, with the Portico of Glory and the Pico Sacro in the background; on the right, Saint Francis of Assisi is depicted—his hand visible in this image.
