Roman Charity (Italian: Carità Romana) is a painting by the Italian artist Alessandro Varotari, commonly known as Padovanino, completed in the early 17th century. The painting is an interpretation of the story of Roman Charity, a popular theme in art, which exemplifies the virtue of filial piety. The narrative, derived from the Roman writer Valerius Maximus, tells of a woman, Pero, who secretly breastfeeds her father, Cimon, to save him from starvation while he is imprisoned and sentenced to death by starvation.

Padovanino's rendition of this poignant story is noted for its emotional depth and the delicate interplay of light and shadow, which highlights the tender act of compassion at the painting's center. The artist's use of color and detailed expressions enhances the dramatic impact of the scene, inviting viewers to reflect on themes of sacrifice, familial duty, and human dignity.

This work is an example of the Baroque style, characterized by its dramatic use of light, rich color palette, and dynamic composition. Padovanino, a Venetian painter, was known for his ability to merge the grandeur of the Venetian school with the emotional and compositional complexity of the Baroque period. Roman Charity remains a significant work in Padovanino's oeuvre, illustrating his skill in conveying complex human emotions and moral questions through his art. The painting is not only a representation of a historical narrative but also a reflection of the cultural and artistic milieu of 17th-century Venice.
