"La Charité Romaine" (English: "Roman Charity") is a renowned painting by the Italian Baroque artist Guido Reni, created in the early 17th century. This artwork is a visual representation of the story of Cimon and Pero, a tale of selfless filial piety recounted by the Roman historian Valerius Maximus. The narrative describes how Pero secretly breastfeeds her father, Cimon, who has been imprisoned and sentenced to death by starvation, thereby saving his life through her act of charity.

Guido Reni, born in Bologna in 1575, was a prominent figure in the Baroque period known for his classical style that emphasized harmony and clarity. His rendition of "La Charité Romaine" is celebrated for its delicate portrayal of the bond between father and daughter, and the depiction of the noble act of mercy. Reni's mastery of light, composition, and the tender expressions of his subjects contribute to the emotional impact of the painting.

The work is executed in oil on canvas and is characterized by Reni's use of soft, diffused lighting and a restrained palette, which enhances the solemnity and dignity of the scene. The figures are rendered with a gracefulness that is typical of Reni's approach to the human form, and the intimate interaction between Pero and Cimon is captured with a sensitivity that reflects the artist's deep understanding of human emotion.

"La Charité Romaine" by Guido Reni is not only a significant example of Baroque painting but also an enduring symbol of compassion and familial devotion. The painting has been influential in the history of art, inspiring subsequent generations of artists and continuing to move viewers with its poignant depiction of self-sacrifice and love.
