"Apollo and the Cumaean Sibyl" is a 17th-century oil painting by Italian Baroque artist Giovanni Domenico Cerrini, also known as Il Cavalier Perugino. The artwork depicts a scene from classical mythology, featuring Apollo, the god of music, poetry, and prophecy, alongside the Cumaean Sibyl, one of the priestesses presiding over the Apollonian oracle. The Sibyls were women that the ancient Greeks believed were oracles, endowed with the ability to prophesy under the inspiration of a deity, in this case, Apollo himself.

Cerrini's painting captures a moment of intimate exchange between the divine and the mortal, as the Sibyl, renowned for her prophetic powers, is often associated with the god of prophecy. The artwork is imbued with the stylistic characteristics of the Baroque period, showcasing dramatic contrasts of light and shadow, a dynamic composition, and a vivid portrayal of the figures' expressions and drapery.

Giovanni Domenico Cerrini, born in Perugia in 1609 and active in Rome, was a contemporary of artists such as Pietro da Cortona and was influenced by the works of Caravaggio and the Bolognese School. His oeuvre includes religious and mythological scenes, portraits, and frescoes, which are noted for their elegance, refined color palette, and the gentle rendering of figures.

While "Apollo and the Cumaean Sibyl" is not as widely known as some other Baroque masterpieces, it is a significant work that exemplifies Cerrini's artistic skill and contributes to the understanding of Baroque art in Italy. The painting is an important piece for scholars studying the period, the artist, and the cultural context of the era, reflecting the interplay between art, mythology, and religion during the Baroque period.
