"Cimon and Pero ('Caritas Romana')" is a notable work by the Flemish Baroque painter Gerard Douffet, created in the early 17th century. The painting depicts the classical Roman tale of 'Caritas Romana' or 'Roman Charity', which tells the story 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. This subject was a popular theme in art, representing the epitome of filial piety and charity, and was widely depicted during the Renaissance and Baroque periods.

Gerard Douffet (1594–1660), a native of Liège, was influenced by the Caravaggisti movement and was known for his dramatic use of light and shadow, as well as his focus on religious and mythological subjects. His rendition of "Cimon and Pero" is particularly noted for its emotional depth and the intimate portrayal of the bond between father and daughter. The painting is characterized by its tenebrism, where the stark contrasts between light and dark enhance the dramatic effect and draw the viewer's attention to the central act of mercy.

The work is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural and historical implications, reflecting the values and humanist ideals of the period. It serves as an example of how artists of the Baroque era explored complex moral narratives and human emotions through their art. "Cimon and Pero ('Caritas Romana')" by Gerard Douffet remains an important piece in the study of Baroque painting and continues to be appreciated for its powerful depiction of compassion and familial love.
