\qj \f1 \fs24 Tradition wants this \b \cf4 \ATXht71910 sibyl\b0 \cf0 \ATXht0 to come from Delphi in Greece, and this origin would be shown by the tunic with a belt under the breast and held on the side by a round broach. In the "Orcula Sybyllina" a prophecy is attributed on the coming of a Messiah "qui traditur in manus infedel
ium et corona spinea coronabitur" (that will be led in the hands of the unfaithful and crowned with a crown of thorns) with a clear reference to the \b \cf4 \ATXht71600 Passion\b0 \cf0 \ATXht0 of Christ. So her position in the vault, under the \b \i \cf4 \ATXht1051 Drunkenness of Noah\b0 \i0 \cf0 \ATXht0 , does not appear by chance, since \b \cf4 \ATXht71402 Noah\b0 \cf0 \ATXht0 mocked by his son is a prefiguration of Christ mocked by the soldiers and the unfaithful. This figure of the Sibyl is certainl
y the most beautiful and the youngest ever painted by \b \cf4 \ATXht5 Michelangelo\b0 \cf0 \ATXht0 . \f0 \fs20
