Cappella Chigi a santa Maria della Pace con le Sibille di Raffaello, con Cosimo Fancelli ed Erccole Ferrata
Raphael’s Sybils Fresco, around 1515, The Sybils were also painted by Michelangelo in the Sistine Chapel two years before Raphael (...) The painting was commissioned by the Sienese banker Agostino Chigi, whose highly influential position allowed him to obtain permission from the Pope to build two private chapels in the basilica. The fresco is considered a work of notable formal beauty and refinement. The figures are arranged symmetrically around a central point occupied by a cherub, in a composition typical of Raphael’s style, as is the richness of symbolic and literary allusions. Raphael draws a direct connection between the angels, Christian messengers bearing the word of God, and the Sibyls as their ancient equivalents, through whom the ancient pagan gods communicated their will. The importance of the Sibyls in Renaissance iconography is reinforced by their prominent appearance in Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel frescoes. A comparison between Michelangelo’s Sibyls and those of Raphael brings to light the differences in style between these two great artists of the 16th century. The sibyls painted by Michelangelo are towering figures whose monumental physical presence conveys their inner strength. Raphael’s, by contrast, are elegant, lyrical and light. Despite their ability to foresee the future, the four oracles nonetheless appear variously captivated by the appearance of God’s angelic messengers. The four figures thus come to embody the new Christian interpretation of Antiquity. The four Sibyls – the Cumaean, the Persian, the Phrygian, and the Tiburtine – are depicted in a perfectly symmetrical fashion around the arch at the entrance to the second Chigi chapel. Three of them are portrayed as young maidens, whereas the Cumaean Sibyl is depicted as an old woman. Next to her Raphael has transcribed Virgil’s verses about the new generation that “descends from heaven on high”, emphasizing a widely held belief that this was a prophecy regarding the eventual victory of Christianity. https://www.chiostrodelbramante.it/le...
