This review article describes major developments associated with the Dicke model, from its introduction in the 1950s to explain the transition from a normal to a superradiant phase to its modern applications in quantum many-body physics. Over the decades, this interacting spin-boson model has played a central role in the study of collective light-matter interactions, chaos, and quantum phase transitions. We focus on properties and phenomena that are best understood when seen from both the classical and quantum perspectives, with particular emphasis on the emergence of chaos, localization, and scarring. While our primary emphasis is on the isolated model, we also discuss recent advances in the open Dicke model, where environmental couplings are needed for describing realistic experimental platforms and exploring new regimes of quantum dynamics.
