Painting Description
"Roman Charity" is a painting by the Spanish Baroque artist Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, created in the 17th century. This work depicts the story of Cimon and Pero, a tale of filial piety from Roman antiquity that became a popular subject in art. According to the legend, Cimon, an elderly prisoner condemned to death by starvation, was secretly nursed by his daughter Pero, who visited him in prison and fed him with her own breast milk, thus saving his life.
Murillo's interpretation of "Roman Charity" is noted for its tender representation of the figures and the emotional depth conveyed through their interaction. The painting showcases Murillo's mastery of light and shadow, as well as his ability to capture the textures of fabrics and the human form. His work often reflects the Catholic values of charity and compassion, which are central themes in this painting.
The exact date of creation for Murillo's "Roman Charity" is not definitively known, but it is generally attributed to the later period of his career. The painting is a testament to Murillo's skill in combining religious and moral themes with the naturalism that characterized the Baroque period in European art. It remains an important example of Murillo's oeuvre and of the broader tradition of depicting virtuous acts from classical antiquity in Baroque art.
While the painting itself is not as widely recognized as some of Murillo's other works, such as his depictions of the Immaculate Conception or his genre scenes of street urchins, "Roman Charity" still holds a significant place in the study of Spanish Baroque painting and the cultural exchange of ideas and motifs across European art. The work is often discussed in the context of its influence on later artists and its reflection of the societal and religious values of the time.
