The Delphic Sibyl at Sunset
on (almost) the longest day, Summer #Solstice 2023, for we in the #Antipodes.
Michelangelo’s #SistineChapel ‘Prophets and Sibyls’ Ceiling 1510-1512 Vatican, Rome.
Distracted from reading her scroll by something, perhaps a vision, the #Delphic #Sibyl turns her glance in the opposite direction to the rotation of her body.
Her eyes and mouth demonstrate a sudden emotion before a new event, which the rest of her body, in its previous state of calm, still resists.
