The pictorial set of the sibyls of the brotherhood of Sant Pere and Sant Bernat.
This work presents a set of five Modern Age paintings of Ancient sibyls and studies their aesthetic resemblance among them as well as with other sets of sibyls painted in the 16th century. This fact leads us to think that this might be an incomplete series. The first set of five Ancient sibyls is located in a room on the main floor of the Brotherhood of Sant Pere i Sant Bernat, in Palma de Mallorca (Balearic Islands, Spain). Although it is still unknown how these paintings arrived in Mallorca or if they were fragmented, it can be argued that this set could be inspired both by the engravings made by Andalusian painter Baltasar Porreño (1569-1639) and by some Renaissance Italian words which, according to several authors influenced some Spanish and Mexican works at the time. This article brings to light some hitherto unknown pieces that bear witness to the artistic interest in the subject of the Sibyl in the 17th and 18th centuries.
