"Cimon and Pero" (holl.77) is a notable engraving by the German artist Hans Sebald Beham, created in the early 16th century. Beham, a prominent figure of the Northern Renaissance, is renowned for his intricate and detailed engravings, which often explore themes of morality, classical mythology, and daily life. This particular work is a fine example of his skill in capturing complex human emotions and narratives within a compact and meticulously detailed composition.

The engraving depicts the poignant story of Cimon and Pero, a tale derived from Roman mythology and popularized through various literary sources, including Valerius Maximus's "Factorum et dictorum memorabilium libri IX" and later by Giovanni Boccaccio in his "De Mulieribus Claris." The narrative centers on Cimon, an elderly man who is imprisoned and sentenced to death by starvation. His daughter, Pero, secretly visits him in his cell and sustains him by breastfeeding him, an act of filial piety and self-sacrifice that ultimately saves his life.

Beham's rendition of this story is marked by its emotional intensity and the careful attention to detail that characterizes his work. The composition is tightly framed, focusing on the intimate interaction between father and daughter. Beham's use of line and shading creates a sense of depth and texture, bringing the figures to life and emphasizing the tenderness and desperation of the moment. The engraving not only highlights Beham's technical prowess but also reflects the humanist interests of the time, exploring themes of virtue, familial duty, and the complexities of human relationships.

"Cimon and Pero" stands as a testament to Beham's ability to convey powerful narratives through the medium of engraving. It remains an important work within the context of Renaissance art, illustrating the period's fascination with classical themes and the moral lessons they impart.
