The Cumean Sibyl is a renowned painting by the Italian Baroque artist Domenico Zampieri, commonly known as Domenichino. Created around 1610-1611, this masterpiece exemplifies Domenichino's skill in combining classical themes with the dramatic intensity characteristic of the Baroque period. The painting depicts the Cumean Sibyl, one of the most famous prophetesses of ancient mythology, who was believed to reside in the ancient Greek colony of Cumae in Italy. The Sibyl was renowned for her prophecies, which were often delivered in a cryptic and enigmatic manner, and she played a significant role in Roman mythology and literature, including Virgil's epic poem, the Aeneid.

In The Cumean Sibyl, Domenichino captures the essence of the prophetess with a sense of serene authority and contemplative wisdom. The Sibyl is portrayed in a seated position, holding a scroll, which signifies her role as a seer and keeper of divine knowledge. Her gaze is directed upwards, suggesting a connection with the divine or an act of receiving inspiration. The artist's use of light and shadow enhances the ethereal quality of the scene, creating a sense of depth and highlighting the Sibyl's contemplative expression.

Domenichino's attention to detail is evident in the intricate rendering of the Sibyl's garments and the delicate play of light on her face and hands. The painting is also notable for its harmonious composition and the balanced use of color, which contribute to the overall sense of calm and introspection. The Cumean Sibyl is a testament to Domenichino's mastery of the Baroque style and his ability to convey complex themes through a combination of realism and idealism. This work remains an important example of Baroque art and continues to be admired for its artistic and historical significance.
