"Roman Charity (Cimon and Pero)" is a notable artwork by Giovanni Francesco Barbieri, also known as Guercino, an eminent Italian Baroque painter of the early 17th century. This painting, executed around 1620-1622, is a striking representation of the theme of "Caritas Romana" or Roman Charity, a story that has been a popular subject in art, illustrating the tale 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.

Guercino's interpretation of "Roman Charity" is celebrated for its emotional depth, mastery of chiaroscuro, and the tender yet dignified portrayal of its subjects. The painting showcases Guercino's skill in capturing human emotions and his ability to convey a complex narrative through a single, compelling image. The composition focuses on the figures of Cimon and Pero, with Pero positioned in a manner that both highlights her act of compassion and maintains a sense of modesty and respect for her father. The use of light and shadow not only enhances the drama of the scene but also draws attention to the expressions of the characters, further emphasizing the themes of sacrifice, filial piety, and human dignity.

This artwork is a quintessential example of Baroque art's emphasis on bringing biblical and historical narratives to life with emotional intensity and realism. "Roman Charity (Cimon and Pero)" by Guercino remains an important work for its artistic merit and for its representation of the enduring values of compassion and familial love. It continues to be studied and admired for its technical excellence and its poignant depiction of an enduring story from Roman folklore.
