"Cimon and Pero" is a notable work by Barthel Beham, a German artist associated with the Northern Renaissance and particularly with the Little Masters, a group of printmakers known for their small, intricate works. Created in 1530, this piece is an engraving that depicts the Roman story of Cimon and Pero, a tale of filial piety and compassion that has been a subject of artistic representation across various cultures and epochs.

The story, originating from Valerius Maximus's "Memorable Deeds and Sayings," tells of Cimon, an elderly prisoner condemned to starve to death, who is secretly nursed by his daughter Pero. She visits him in prison and breastfeeds him, saving his life with this act of selfless love. This narrative, known as "Roman Charity" (Caritas Romana), symbolizes the virtues of charity and familial devotion.

Beham's rendition of "Cimon and Pero" is remarkable for its detailed execution and emotional depth, capturing the tender moment between father and daughter with a profound sense of dignity and respect. The engraving is a testament to Beham's mastery of the medium, showcasing his ability to convey complex narratives and human emotions through intricate lines and compositions.

As a work of art, "Cimon and Pero" by Barthel Beham not only exemplifies the technical skill and thematic interests of the Northern Renaissance but also reflects broader cultural values concerning family, virtue, and the human condition. It remains an important piece for scholars and enthusiasts of Renaissance art, offering insights into the era's artistic practices and societal norms.
