The ''Cumaean Sibyl'' is a renowned oil painting by the Italian Baroque artist Domenico Zampieri, commonly known as Domenichino. Created in the early 17th century, this artwork is part of a series of sibyls and prophets that Domenichino painted for the church of San Giovanni in Laterano in Rome, during a period when the Baroque style was flourishing under the influence of artists such as Caravaggio and Annibale Carracci, the latter being Domenichino's mentor.

The painting depicts the Cumaean Sibyl, a prophetic figure from classical antiquity who, according to legend, was granted a long life by the god Apollo in exchange for her virginity. The sibyls were often incorporated into Christian art as precursors to the Christian prophets, believed to have foretold events from the life of Christ. In Domenichino's interpretation, the Cumaean Sibyl is shown as an elegant and contemplative woman, holding a book which is presumed to contain her prophecies. Her gaze is directed upwards, possibly signifying divine inspiration or reflection on her prophetic visions.

Domenichino's work is characterized by its classical composition and the harmonious balance of forms, reflecting the influence of the High Renaissance and the ideals of his teacher, Carracci. The use of chiaroscuro, the strong contrast between light and dark, adds a dramatic effect to the painting, while the careful attention to the drapery and the sibyl's serene expression showcase the artist's skill in rendering both the physical and emotional aspects of his subjects.

The ''Cumaean Sibyl'' is celebrated for its embodiment of Baroque aesthetics, combining a dynamic composition with a clarity of form and narrative. It is a testament to Domenichino's mastery of painting and his ability to convey complex theological concepts through art. The work is held in high regard not only for its artistic excellence but also for its cultural and historical significance, as it reflects the broader interest in classical antiquity and its reinterpretation within a Christian context that was prevalent during the Baroque period.

Today, the ''Cumaean Sibyl'' remains an important work in the oeuvre of Domenichino and is a valuable piece for the study of Baroque art and its intersections with religion, mythology, and classical scholarship. The painting is housed in a prestigious collection, continuing to attract admiration from art historians and the general public alike for its beauty and depth.
