The Cumaean Sibyl is one of the series of twelve prophetic figures painted by Michelangelo Buonarroti on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City. Completed around 1510, this fresco is part of the larger scheme of the Sistine Chapel ceiling that was commissioned by Pope Julius II. Michelangelo's work on the ceiling spanned from 1508 to 1512, and the Cumaean Sibyl is one of the most notable figures among the sibyls and prophets that he depicted.

The Cumaean Sibyl, also known as the Sibyl of Cumae, is traditionally considered to be the priestess presiding over the Apollonian oracle at Cumae, a Greek colony located near Naples, Italy. In the Judeo-Christian tradition, sibyls were thought to have prophetic powers, including the foretelling of the coming of Christ. Michelangelo's portrayal of the Cumaean Sibyl, with her intense expression and muscular form, reflects the Renaissance ideal of beauty and the artist's mastery of human anatomy.

In the fresco, the Cumaean Sibyl is depicted as an elderly woman, turning to her right as she reads from a large book. She is surrounded by an architectural framework that includes a fictive marble throne and a series of ignudi, or nude youths, which are characteristic of Michelangelo's work on the ceiling. The figure's powerful physique and the dynamic twist of her body exhibit Michelangelo's skill in conveying both the physical and psychological intensity of his subjects.

The Cumaean Sibyl has been widely studied for its artistic significance and is often cited as an example of Michelangelo's ability to blend classical influences with his own innovative style. The fresco's composition, use of color, and the depiction of the human form demonstrate the artist's influence on the course of Western art. The Sistine Chapel ceiling, including The Cumaean Sibyl, was restored in the late 20th century, revealing the original vibrancy of Michelangelo's palette and the meticulous details of his brushwork.

As one of the most visited artworks in the world, The Cumaean Sibyl continues to be a subject of admiration and scholarly interest, contributing to the enduring legacy of Michelangelo's artistic genius.
