The Sibyls, or Sibyls receiving instruction from Angels, is a painting by the Italian renaissance artist Raphael. It was painted in 1514, as part of a commission Raphael had received from the Sienese banker Agostino Chigi to decorate the interior of Santa Maria della Pace in Rome.[1]
The painting shows four Sibyls—Cumaean, Persian, Phrygian and Tiburtine—accompanied by attendant angels.[2] Art historian Michael Hirst notes a "striking" parallel between the figures of the Sibyls and the practice sketches of Michelangelo.[3]
