"The Seven Acts of Mercy" (Italian: "Sette opere di Misericordia"), painted by Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio in 1607, is a renowned oil painting that exemplifies the Baroque master's dramatic use of chiaroscuro and his profound influence on the visual interpretation of Catholic themes. This work, located in the Pio Monte della Misericordia church in Naples, Italy, was commissioned by the charitable organization of the same name, which was dedicated to performing acts of compassion.

The painting masterfully combines the seven corporal acts of mercy—feeding the hungry, giving drink to the thirsty, clothing the naked, sheltering the traveler, visiting the sick, visiting the imprisoned, and burying the dead—into a single, cohesive scene set in a dark, urban background that is typical of Caravaggio's style. The composition is notable for its realistic portrayal of human suffering and the tangible expressions of compassion, rendered with a powerful sense of movement and emotional intensity.

Caravaggio's innovative approach to the subject matter, depicting the acts of mercy in contemporary settings with ordinary people, was groundbreaking and contributed to the evolution of religious art during the Counter-Reformation. The painting's visceral impact and its ability to convey spiritual messages through everyday life have made it a seminal work in the study of Caravaggio's oeuvre and the Baroque period. "The Seven Acts of Mercy" remains a testament to Caravaggio's genius in capturing the essence of human empathy and the transformative power of charity.
