The Sibyls: The Delphian Sibyl is a 1404 by Francesco Rosselli, a Renaissance work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows a robed woman sitting on a rocky ledge, holding a scroll and a book with Latin words. She wears a crown and a necklace, and her hair is loose. Above her head, a banner reads *"Sibylla Delphica"* in fancy letters. The scroll and book suggest she’s a prophetess from ancient times. The Latin text below is a poem about her predicting the birth of Christ. Next, check out the Renaissance movement for more works like this.
Francesco Rosselli was an Italian miniature painter, and engraver of maps and old master prints.
