"Roman Charity (Cimon and Pero)" is a significant Baroque-era painting created by the Italian artist Carlo Cignani between approximately 1690 and 1700. The artwork is renowned for its depiction of the classical story of 'Caritas Romana,' a tale of familial piety and compassion that has been a recurring theme in art and literature. The narrative centers on Pero, a woman who secretly breastfeeds her father, Cimon, to save him from starvation while he is imprisoned and sentenced to death by starvation.

Cignani, known for his refined technique and sensual portrayal of figures, imbues the painting with a tender and emotive quality that reflects the virtues of love and self-sacrifice. The composition typically showcases Pero as the embodiment of filial devotion, while Cimon represents the vulnerability and dependence of old age. The use of chiaroscuro, a technique characterized by strong contrasts between light and dark, serves to highlight the figures and underscore the emotional gravity of the scene.

The painting is a testament to Cignani's mastery of color and form, as well as his ability to convey complex human emotions. It also reflects the broader cultural and artistic preoccupations of the Baroque period, which often explored themes of dramatic intensity, virtuosity, and the interplay between the physical and spiritual realms.

"Roman Charity (Cimon and Pero)" by Carlo Cignani not only stands as an important work within the artist's oeuvre but also contributes to the rich tapestry of visual interpretations of this enduring story from antiquity. The painting is held in high regard for its artistic merit and as a cultural artifact that offers insight into the values and aesthetics of the late 17th and early 18th centuries.
