"The Cumaean Sibyl" is an engraving created in 1516 by the Italian printmaker Agostino dei Musi, also known as Agostino Veneziano. This work is part of a series of engravings that depict the sibyls, who in classical mythology were women believed to possess prophetic powers and were consulted on important matters. The Cumaean Sibyl, in particular, was famed for her prophecy regarding the Trojan hero Aeneas and his descendants founding Rome, as recounted in Virgil's "Aeneid."

Agostino dei Musi was active during the High Renaissance, a period marked by significant developments in art, literature, and culture in Europe. He was known for his skillful engravings which often reflected the influence of prominent artists of his time, such as Raphael and Michelangelo. "The Cumaean Sibyl" showcases Agostino's mastery of the engraving medium, with intricate lines and detailed rendering that capture the mystical and enigmatic nature of the sibyl.

The engraving depicts the Cumaean Sibyl seated, holding a book, which is emblematic of her role as a prophetess and her connection to the divine. The artwork is characterized by its classical composition and the harmonious balance between the figure and the surrounding space. The sibyl's expression and posture convey a sense of contemplation and wisdom, befitting her mythological role as a guide to both gods and mortals.

"The Cumaean Sibyl" by Agostino dei Musi is considered an important work within the canon of Renaissance printmaking. It not only exemplifies the technical prowess of the artist but also reflects the broader cultural fascination with antiquity and the revival of classical themes during the Renaissance. The engraving remains an object of study for art historians and scholars interested in the period's artistic output and its enduring legacy.
