"Sick Boy" (Italian: "Il ragazzo malato") is a notable painting by the Italian artist Antonio Mancini (1852–1930), who was renowned for his realistic and emotionally charged works. Mancini, a leading figure of the Italian verismo (realism) movement, often depicted scenes of everyday life, including the plight of the poor and the infirm, which is exemplified in "Sick Boy." The painting is a poignant representation of a young boy suffering from illness, capturing the fragility of his condition and the broader human experience of vulnerability and care.

The artwork is characterized by Mancini's distinctive style, which includes the use of bold brushstrokes and a rich palette to convey texture and depth. His technique often involved the use of impasto, where paint is laid on an area of the surface in very thick layers, and sometimes he incorporated materials like glass or metal foils to create a shimmering effect, a method he called "scraping."

"Sick Boy" reflects Mancini's interest in the human condition and his ability to evoke empathy through his art. The painting's composition, the boy's expression, and the use of light and shadow work together to create a sense of intimacy and immediacy, drawing the viewer into the subject's world. Mancini's works, including "Sick Boy," contributed to the development of realism in Italian art and influenced many of his contemporaries and successors.

The painting is held in high regard for its artistic merit and as an example of Mancini's skill in portraying the subtleties of human emotion. It remains an important work for study in the context of 19th-century Italian art and the broader European realist tradition. "Sick Boy" is often cited in discussions of Mancini's empathy for the marginalized and his mastery of capturing the human spirit on canvas.
