The Libyan Sibyl is one of the twelve prophetic figures painted by Michelangelo Buonarroti on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City. Created between 1508 and 1512, 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 Libyan Sibyl, also known as Phemonoe, is depicted as a young woman with a powerful physique, reflecting Michelangelo's mastery of human anatomy and his idealization of the human form.

In the fresco, the Sibyl is shown seated on a high throne, turning to her right as she reaches for a large book. Her pose is dynamic and complex, with her body twisting gracefully, showcasing Michelangelo's skill in conveying movement and tension within the human body. The Sibyl's garments are rich and voluminous, adding to the sense of grandeur and drama in the composition.

The Libyan Sibyl is traditionally associated with the city of Siwa in Libya, where the ancient Oracle of Ammon was located. In classical mythology and literature, sibyls were believed to be oracles or prophetesses who possessed the gift of prophecy and were capable of foretelling the future. Michelangelo's interpretation of the Libyan Sibyl, along with the other sibyls on the Sistine Chapel ceiling, reflects the Renaissance interest in the classical world and the belief in the universality of prophetic wisdom.

The fresco has been widely praised for its artistic excellence and is considered one of the masterpieces of High Renaissance art. Michelangelo's work on the Sistine Chapel ceiling, including The Libyan Sibyl, has had a profound impact on the development of Western art, influencing countless artists and earning a place as one of the most iconic and celebrated artistic achievements of all time.
