The Delphic Sibyl is one of the series of Sibyls painted by the Italian Renaissance master Michelangelo Buonarroti as part of the Sistine Chapel ceiling frescoes. Completed around 1509, this particular fresco is a representation of the Delphic Sibyl, also known as Pythia, who was the priestess presiding over the ancient Greek oracle at Delphi. Michelangelo's portrayal of the Delphic Sibyl is a testament to his ability to blend classical mythology with the Christian context of the Sistine Chapel.

The fresco depicts the Sibyl in a moment of contemplation, with a scroll in her hand, which is emblematic of the prophetic messages she would have been believed to receive from the god Apollo. Michelangelo's work is renowned for its humanistic approach to religious subjects, and in this fresco, he imbues the Sibyl with a sense of wisdom and introspection that transcends her mythological origins.

The Delphic Sibyl is one of the larger figures on the ceiling and is situated among the series of prophetic figures that include five Sibyls and seven prophets from the Old Testament. These figures are interspersed with a variety of other decorative elements, including ignudi (nude youths), medallions, and spandrels that together form a complex iconographic scheme.

Michelangelo's frescoes on the Sistine Chapel ceiling are widely regarded as some of the greatest masterpieces of Western art. The Delphic Sibyl, with its dynamic composition, intricate drapery, and the powerful expression of the figure, is a prime example of the artist's skill in creating figures that are both monumental and profoundly human. The fresco has been analyzed and admired for centuries, not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its place within the broader narrative of the Sistine Chapel and its influence on the course of art history.
