"Roman Charity" is a painting by the Spanish Baroque artist Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, created in the 17th century. This artwork is an interpretation of the story of Cimon and Pero, a tale of filial piety from Roman antiquity, which became a popular subject in art during the Renaissance and Baroque periods. The narrative, which originates from the writings of the Roman historian Valerius Maximus, tells of Pero, a woman who secretly breastfeeds her father, Cimon, to save him from starvation while he is imprisoned and sentenced to death by starvation.

Murillo's depiction of "Roman Charity" is notable for its tender representation of the figures and the emotional depth conveyed in their interaction. The painting illustrates the moment of Pero nursing her aged father, encapsulating the themes of compassion, sacrifice, and familial duty that resonate with Christian values of charity and mercy, which were prevalent in the religious and moralistic art of the period.

The composition, use of light, and the soft modeling of forms are characteristic of Murillo's style, which often imbued his subjects with a sense of warmth and humanity. While the exact date of the painting's creation is not definitively known, it is generally attributed to Murillo's mature period, when he had fully developed his distinctive approach to religious and genre subjects.

"Roman Charity" by Murillo is held in high regard for its artistic merit and its poignant portrayal of a classical theme through the lens of 17th-century Spanish art. The painting is part of the rich tradition of European artists interpreting the story of Cimon and Pero, each bringing their unique perspective to the enduring tale of selfless love and devotion.
