"The Cumaean Sibyl" is an exemplary 17th-century oil painting by Flemish artist Jan van den Hoecke. The artwork represents the Cumaean Sibyl, a priestess presiding over one of the Greek oracles, known in Roman mythology for living over a thousand years and foretelling coming of Christ. The painting demonstrates van den Hoecke's proficiency in blending mythological themes with a Baroque artistic style.

In his depiction, the Sibyl is seen with a generalized facial expression, portraying wisdom and foresight, qualities associated with her mythical role. This work is characterized by masterful use of chiaroscuro, which lends depth and realism to the subject. Notably, the painting's execution elucidates van den Hoecke's ability to embed emotional content in his works, a characteristic reflected in his later output.

The painting belongs to the corpus of van den Hoecke's Baroque era production, a period when the artist served as a court painter under Archduke Leopold Wilhelm of Austria. The Cumaean Sibyl illustrates van den Hoecke's distinctive artistic sensibility whilst reflecting the broader stylistic tendencies of the Flemish Baroque movement.

As of now, this artwork's current location remains unknown, but its previous public appearance was recorded in a 19th-century art auction where it was listed without a conclusive outcome. The Cumaean Sibyl remains a significant artistic output within Jan van den Hoecke's oeuvre, testament to his innovative and splendid contribution to the golden age of Flemish painting.
