"The Cumaean Sibyl" is a renowned Baroque painting by the Italian 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 Sant'Andrea della Valle in Rome. The Cumaean Sibyl, in particular, holds a significant place in classical mythology and ancient Roman religion as a prophetess who was believed to have sold the legendary Sibylline books to one of the last kings of Rome.

Domenichino's depiction of the Cumaean Sibyl is a testament to his mastery of classical form and his ability to infuse his subjects with both grandeur and emotional depth. The painting showcases the sibyl in a moment of divine inspiration or contemplation, often characterized by a thoughtful expression and an elaborate pose that conveys the gravity of her prophetic abilities. The use of chiaroscuro, the dramatic interplay of light and shadow, is a hallmark of the Baroque style and is employed by Domenichino to highlight the figure of the sibyl and to create a sense of three-dimensionality.

The artwork is notable for its refined composition, the sibyl's elegant drapery, and the detailed rendering of her facial features, all of which exemplify Domenichino's skill as a draftsman and his adherence to the classical tradition. The Cumaean Sibyl's inclusion in the series for Sant'Andrea della Valle indicates the importance of sibyls in Christian iconography, as they were often interpreted as pagan precursors to Christian prophecy, foretelling the coming of Christ.

As a significant work of Domenichino, "The Cumaean Sibyl" has been studied for its artistic and historical value. It reflects the broader cultural and religious context of the Counter-Reformation, during which the Catholic Church emphasized the use of art to communicate religious themes and inspire devotion. The painting remains an important example of Domenichino's contribution to Baroque art and continues to be appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and its embodiment of the era's artistic ideals.
