The Bay of Baiae, with Apollo and the Sibyl

Artist	J. M. W. Turner
Year	1823
Type	Oil on canvas, landscape
Dimensions	145.4 cm × 237.5 cm (57.2 in × 93.5 in)
Location	Tate Britain, London

The Bay of Baiae, with Apollo and the Sibyl is an 1823 landscape painting by the British artist J.M.W. Turner. It shows a view of the Bay of Baiae in the Gulf of Naples.

The painting was displayed at the Royal Academy's 1823 Summer Exhibition at Somerset House. It was exhibited with a quote from Odes by the Roman writer Horace. It was the subject of controversy at the time and even Turner's later supporter John Ruskin thought the use of colours was crude. Today it is in the collection of the Tate Britain in Pimlico, having been acquired by the nation as part of the Turner Bequest in 1856.
