"Aeneas and the Sibyl" is an 1800 painting by the British artist John Martin, known for his dramatic and often apocalyptic landscapes. This work is inspired by the ancient Roman epic poem "The Aeneid" by Virgil, which narrates the legendary story of Aeneas, a Trojan who traveled to Italy, where he became the ancestor of the Romans. The painting depicts a scene from the poem where Aeneas, guided by the Cumaean Sibyl, ventures into the underworld to seek his father's spirit.

In Martin's rendering, the grandeur and terror of the underworld are captured through his use of stark lighting contrasts and a brooding, atmospheric landscape. The figures of Aeneas and the Sibyl are often portrayed as small in scale against the vast and tumultuous environment, emphasizing the human struggle against overwhelming forces of nature and fate. The painting is characteristic of Martin's style, which combines elements of Romanticism with a fascination for the sublime and the catastrophic.

"Aeneas and the Sibyl" reflects Martin's interest in classical literature and mythology, which he often used as a source of inspiration for his dramatic compositions. His work is noted for its influence on the visual arts as well as on popular culture, including the development of cinematic special effects. The painting is part of a broader body of work by Martin that explores themes of destruction, divine wrath, and redemption, and it contributes to the understanding of Romantic art in the context of 19th-century Britain.

As a significant example of John Martin's oeuvre, "Aeneas and the Sibyl" is an important work for scholars studying the intersection of art, literature, and the cultural history of the Romantic period. It continues to be appreciated for its technical mastery and its powerful evocation of the epic narrative.
