"Ritratto del Beato Simoncino da Trento" (Portrait of the Blessed Simoncino of Trent) is a 17th-century painting by Italian artist Giovanni Domenico Cappellino. The work is a religious portrait that depicts Simonino (Simon) of Trent, a young boy whose death in 1475 led to the accusation of the city's Jewish community of ritual murder, a charge now widely recognized as a blood libel. Simonino was venerated as a martyr in Trent until the cult was suppressed by Pope Paul VI in 1965, following the Second Vatican Council and its efforts to improve Christian-Jewish relations.

Giovanni Domenico Cappellino, active in Genoa during the early Baroque period, was known for his religious works and portraits. In "Ritratto del Beato Simoncino da Trento," Cappellino captures the young Simonino in a devotional pose, reflecting the reverence with which he was regarded by some at the time. The painting is an example of the Counter-Reformation's emphasis on religious imagery intended to inspire piety and devotion among the faithful.

The artwork serves as a historical document, reflecting the religious and social tensions of its time. It is a reminder of the tragic consequences of false accusations and the use of religious narratives to justify persecution. The painting's existence is a testament to the complex interplay between art, religion, and politics in early modern Europe.

Today, "Ritratto del Beato Simoncino da Trento" is of interest not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical significance in the context of anti-Semitic practices and the Catholic Church's evolving stance on interfaith relations. The painting is occasionally referenced in discussions of art that intersects with historical events and religious doctrine, serving as a point of departure for conversations about the role of visual culture in shaping and reflecting societal beliefs.
