"Roman Charity" is a painting by the Italian artist Giovanni Antonio Pellegrini, created in the early 18th century. The artwork depicts the story of Cimon and Pero, a tale of filial piety from Roman folklore that became a popular subject in art during the Baroque period. In the story, Cimon, an elderly prisoner condemned to starve to death, is secretly nursed by his daughter Pero, who visits him in prison and breastfeeds him to keep him alive. This act of selfless devotion was celebrated as an example of ultimate familial love and duty.

Pellegrini's interpretation of "Roman Charity" is characterized by its dynamic composition and emotional intensity, reflecting the Baroque style's emphasis on movement, contrast, and dramatic effect. The figures are typically rendered with a sense of immediacy and realism, capturing the poignant moment of Pero's sacrifice. The use of chiaroscuro, the strong contrast between light and dark, serves to highlight the central action and to enhance the three-dimensional quality of the figures.

Giovanni Antonio Pellegrini (1675–1741) was one of the leading Venetian painters of his time, known for his decorative frescoes and altarpieces. His work on "Roman Charity" showcases his skill in handling complex narratives and his ability to convey deep human emotions through his art. The painting not only reflects the artistic trends of the period but also offers insight into the cultural values of the time, where themes of virtue and moral exemplarity were highly esteemed.

"Roman Charity" by Pellegrini is an important work within the artist's oeuvre and the broader context of Baroque art. It continues to be studied for its artistic merit and its representation of a timeless moral tale. The painting is a testament to Pellegrini's mastery of the Baroque idiom and his contribution to the visual culture of the 18th century.
