The Ghent Altarpiece, also known as the Adoration of the Mystic Lamb, is a complex polyptych panel painting created by the Early Netherlandish master Jan van Eyck, with contributions from his brother Hubert van Eyck. Completed in 1432, this masterpiece of Northern Renaissance art is renowned for its intricate detail, use of oil painting techniques, and its iconographic innovations. The altarpiece is housed in Saint Bavo's Cathedral in Ghent, Belgium.

One of the panels of the Ghent Altarpiece features the Cumaean Sibyl, a figure from classical antiquity who, according to legend, was granted a long life by Apollo and possessed the gift of prophecy. In the context of the altarpiece, the Cumaean Sibyl is one of the eight prophets and sibyls who are depicted in the upper register of the closed view of the altarpiece. These figures are shown holding scrolls or books and are believed to have foretold the coming of Christ.

The Cumaean Sibyl panel is a testament to Jan van Eyck's skill in rendering textures, light, and form. The sibyl is depicted with a remarkable level of realism, from the intricate folds of her garments to the softness of her skin. Her expression is contemplative, and she is shown reading a text, which is a reference to her role as a prophetess. The panel is rich in symbolism, with various elements alluding to the sibyl's foresight and wisdom.

As part of the Ghent Altarpiece, the Cumaean Sibyl panel has been the subject of extensive art historical research and conservation efforts. The altarpiece has survived centuries of political and religious turmoil, including theft and attempted destruction. Its conservation history is as rich as its artistic one, with the most recent restoration completed in 2020, revealing the original vibrancy and detail of van Eyck's work.

The Ghent Altarpiece, including the Cumaean Sibyl panel, is not only a pinnacle of Jan van Eyck's artistic achievement but also a cultural and historical artifact that continues to captivate scholars, art enthusiasts, and visitors from around the world.
