"La Sibilla Cumana," also known as "The Cumaean Sibyl," is a renowned oil on canvas painting by the Italian Baroque artist Domenico Zampieri, commonly known as Domenichino. Created in the early 17th century, this work is part of a series of sibyls and prophets painted by Domenichino for the church of San Giovanni in Laterano in Rome, during a period when the artist was deeply involved in the Roman artistic scene and influenced by the works of his contemporaries and predecessors.

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. She is traditionally associated with the town of Cumae in Italy and is one of the most celebrated sibyls, having been mentioned by various ancient authors, including Virgil in his epic poem "The Aeneid." In Domenichino's portrayal, the sibyl is shown in a moment of divine inspiration, with her gaze turned heavenward as she receives a prophecy. The work is noted for its dramatic use of light and shadow, as well as the sibyl's expressive countenance, which reflects the Baroque interest in depicting emotional intensity and spiritual ecstasy.

"La Sibilla Cumana" is admired for its technical mastery and its embodiment of the Baroque style, characterized by dynamic composition, rich coloration, and a sense of movement. Domenichino's skill in rendering the textures of fabrics and the lifelike quality of the sibyl's skin and hair is particularly noteworthy. The painting is also significant for its contribution to the iconography of sibyls in art, serving as an influential example for later artists.

The work is currently housed in the Galleria Borghese in Rome, where it continues to be an object of study and admiration for its artistic and historical significance. As a testament to Domenichino's reputation as one of the leading painters of the Roman Baroque, "La Sibilla Cumana" remains a key example of the artist's ability to fuse classical themes with the emotional and visual power of Baroque art.
