"Sibyl Tiburtina".
Oil on canvas. Re-coloured.

Measurements: 61 x 48 cm.
The Sibyl Tiburtina or Albunea was a Roman sibyl, whose seat was the ancient Etruscan city of Tibur (nowadays Tivoli). Within the Italian school it was common, from the Renaissance onwards, to depict Sibyls in compositions similar to those of contemporary portraiture, as ladies richly attired in the fashion of the time. In fact, there are known examples of works in which important aristocrats are depicted as sibyls, both in Italy and in other countries. Indeed, Velázquez himself portrayed his wife, Juana Pacheco, as a sibyl (1632, Museo del Prado). We can also find more recent examples, such as "La sibila de la Alpujarra", a portrait of the singer Carmen Casena painted in 1911 by Julio Romero de Torres, now in his museum. From a formal point of view, it should also be noted that it is a work in which we can appreciate a pictorial influence typical of the Roman school, the warm, palette-like chromatism and the perfection of the drawing, as well as the regularity and balance of the ideal face of the figure, which refers to a sensitivity close to a language of a classical nature.
In ancient Greek mythology, the Sibyl was a prophetess, sometimes inspired by Apollo, whose powers were of divine origin. However, the number of these women soon increased from three to twelve, in all cases without knowing their names, but knowing them only by the name of the place where they lived. It was the Renaissance that revived this figure, considering them to be heralds of Christ in the pagan tradition in order to give value to it and "Christianise" it. Of all the works in which they appear, the best known is probably Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel Vault, which shows the five most representative of the time (Eritrea, Persica, Libyan, Cumaean and Delphic).
