Spanish Baroque in the New World:
Sibyls from Zurbarán's Studio
The Twelve Sibyls were pagan prophetesses adopted into Christian iconography during the medieval period. Each foretold one of the principle events in the life of Christ. In 1508–12, Michelangelo painted five Sibyls on the Sistine Chapel ceiling. However, after the Council of Trent in the early 1560s restricted pagan imagery, they were less common in art. Although the provenance of this series is unknown, the unusual choice of subject may be explained by the foreign destination. In the background of each painting, a small narrative scene represents the event in Christ’s life prophesied by the Sibyl.
