"Caritas Romana" is a painting by the Austrian portrait painter Friedrich Ritter von Amerling (1803–1887), created in 1835. The artwork is a representation of the Roman Charity (Latin: Caritas Romana) motif, a story of a woman, Pero, who secretly breastfeeds her father, Cimon, to save him from starvation while he is imprisoned and sentenced to death by starvation. This subject is a popular theme in art history, embodying the virtues of filial piety and charity.

Amerling, who was one of the leading portraitists of the Biedermeier period, is known for his meticulous technique and rich coloration, which are evident in this work. "Caritas Romana" showcases his ability to convey emotional depth and the moral gravity of the scene. The painting is a testament to Amerling's skill in capturing the essence of human compassion and the strong bonds of family.

The painting is executed in oil on canvas, a medium that allows for the rich, detailed rendering of textures and subtle gradations of light and shadow that are characteristic of Amerling's style. The composition focuses on the tender and intimate interaction between Pero and Cimon, with the former depicted as a model of virtue and selflessness, while the latter embodies the vulnerability and dependence of the human condition.
