Cumaean Sibyl

$11,000

Description:

The Cumaean Sibyl is one of the most famous prophetesses of the ancient world, believed to have resided in Cumae, an ancient Greek colony near Naples, Italy. She was considered a divine oracle, inspired by the god Apollo, and known for delivering cryptic prophecies written on oak leaves. Her most legendary role appears in Virgil’s Aeneid, where she guides the hero Aeneas through the underworld, symbolizing wisdom and the connection between the mortal world and the divine.

In later Christian tradition, the Cumaean Sibyl gained renewed importance as a pre-Christian figure who foretold the coming of Christ, thus bridging pagan prophecy and Christian theology. She was frequently depicted in Renaissance and Baroque art, most notably by Michelangelo on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, where she appears as a powerful, contemplative figure. Her enduring image represents the timeless pursuit of spiritual truth and the mysterious power of prophecy across cultures and faiths.
