The Erythraean 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 around 1509, this fresco is part of a larger scheme that includes nine scenes from the Book of Genesis, surrounded by prophets and sibyls who foretold the coming of Christ. The Erythraean Sibyl, also known as the Sibyl of Erythrae, is traditionally thought to have prophesied the Redemption of mankind.

Michelangelo's portrayal of the Erythraean Sibyl is a testament to his skill in combining grandeur with a profound psychological insight. The figure is depicted as an elderly woman, draped in elaborate robes, with a powerful physical presence that reflects her wisdom and age. She is shown in a moment of contemplation, with a large book open on her lap, which she appears to be reading or interpreting. The intensity of her gaze and the muscularity of her form suggest a blend of the divine and the human, a characteristic feature of Michelangelo's approach to the human figure.

The fresco is notable for its dynamic composition and the use of chiaroscuro to create a dramatic effect, emphasizing the sibyl's form against the background. The Erythraean Sibyl's inclusion in the Sistine Chapel ceiling reflects the Renaissance interest in the classical world and its oracles, as well as the Christianization of these ancient figures as precursors to the Christian revelation.

As one of the more prominent sibyls in the Sistine Chapel, the Erythraean Sibyl has been the subject of much scholarly attention, with studies focusing on her iconography, her role in the overall theological program of the ceiling, and Michelangelo's artistic techniques. The fresco remains one of the key works in the study of High Renaissance art and continues to attract visitors from around the world, drawn to its artistic beauty and its place in the history of Western art.
