Die Samische Sibylle mit Putto
1651
London, National Gallery, Saal 32 (Inventar-Nr. NG6618)
The Samian Sibyl with a Putto
The sibyl was an oracle of Apollo from the Greek island of Samos who prophesied that Jesus would be born of a virgin, as the inscription on the scroll indicates: 'Hail Zion, chaste maiden who has much suffered'. The frame was designed by James 'Athenian' Stuart for Spencer House in London.
