The Delphic Sibyl is one of the twelve prophetic figures painted by the Italian Renaissance master Michelangelo Buonarroti on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City. Completed in 1509, this fresco is part of a larger scheme of decoration that includes nine scenes from the Book of Genesis, surrounded by prophets and sibyls who foretold the coming of Christ. The Delphic Sibyl, representing the prophetic tradition of Ancient Greece, is depicted as a powerful and enigmatic female figure, seated against a backdrop of a monumental architectural structure.

Michelangelo's portrayal of the Delphic Sibyl is imbued with both classical grace and prophetic intensity. She is shown in a moment of contemplation, with a scroll in her hand, suggesting the act of receiving and recording her visions. The figure's muscular build and dynamic drapery reflect Michelangelo's mastery of human anatomy and his ability to convey movement and emotion through the medium of fresco.

The inclusion of sibyls alongside the Hebrew prophets in the Sistine Chapel ceiling reflects the Renaissance humanist interest in the wisdom of the ancient world and the belief in a universal truth that transcends cultural and religious boundaries. The Delphic Sibyl, in particular, holds a place of honor among these figures, as the oracle of Delphi was one of the most important and revered sources of divine wisdom in the classical world.

Michelangelo's work on the Sistine Chapel ceiling, commissioned by Pope Julius II, is widely regarded as one of the greatest achievements of Western art. The Delphic Sibyl, with her compelling presence and intricate detail, stands as a testament to the artist's unparalleled skill and his profound impact on the course of art history.
