'''Caritas''' is an oil on canvas painting by the Italian Baroque artist Bartolomeo Schedoni, created circa 1611. The painting, which measures 155 by 113 centimeters, is housed in the Galleria Nazionale di Parma, Italy. Schedoni, who was active during the late 16th and early 17th centuries, was known for his emotive and often tender religious works, and ''Caritas'' is a prime example of his mastery in capturing the essence of Christian virtues.

The term "Caritas" refers to the concept of charitable love, one of the three theological virtues in Christian theology, alongside faith and hope. In this painting, Schedoni depicts Charity as a maternal figure, nurturing and caring for children. The central figure is often interpreted as a personification of Charity, shown as a motherly woman who is providing for the needs of several infants and young children gathered around her. The composition and the use of light emphasize the tenderness and protective nature of the central figure, which is characteristic of Schedoni's sensitive approach to religious themes.

The work is notable for its soft color palette and the gentle modeling of forms, which create a sense of warmth and intimacy. Schedoni's use of chiaroscuro—a technique that employs strong contrasts between light and dark—enhances the three-dimensionality of the figures and contributes to the overall emotional impact of the painting.

''Caritas'' is considered one of Schedoni's most important works and is often cited for its influence on the development of Baroque painting in Northern Italy. The painting's blend of realism and idealism reflects the transitional period between the late Renaissance and the Baroque era, showcasing Schedoni's ability to convey complex spiritual concepts through compelling and accessible imagery.
