Aeneas and the Cumaean Sibyl in the Underworld 

Jan Brueghel the Elder's *Aeneas and the Cumaean Sibyl in the Underworld* depicts the mythological scene from Virgil's Aeneid where Aeneas and the Sibyl enter the underworld to consult the dead. The painting is characterized by a dark, fantastical atmosphere filled with grotesque figures and creatures, reflecting the perilous nature of the journey into the underworld. Brueghel, a renowned Flemish painter known for his detailed landscapes and meticulous depiction of nature, masterfully conveys the chaotic and otherworldly realm through the use of vibrant colors and intricate details.
