The sibyl was an oracle of Apollo from the Greek island of Samos who prophesied that Jesus would be born of a virgin, as the inscription on the scroll indicates: “Hail Zion, chaste maiden who has much suffered.” The painting was made for Gioseffo Locatelli of Cesena in 1651.

“The Sibyl, with frenzied mouth uttering things not to be laughed at, unadorned and unperfumed, yet reaches to a thousand years with her voice by aid of the god.” Heraclitus, 5th century BC. Delphic Sibyl by Michelangelo, Sistine Chapel.
