For starters we can say that the author of this painting was Michelangelo who is of the greatest Renaissance artists.

Sybille de Cummes painted on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City.

Perhaps the fact that the painting depicts the Sibyls who were female seers of ancient Greece and Rome is what makes this work of art a classic Renaissance painting, because it refers back to the classic Greek and Roman conception of esthetics and mythology, a constant among Renissaince art. The Sibyls were also known as oracles.
