Painting Description
"Cimon und Pero" is an evocative and poignant engraving created by the German artist Hans Sebald Beham in 1525. Beham, a prominent figure of the Northern Renaissance, was known for his intricate and detailed engravings, often imbued with moral and allegorical themes. This particular work is a visual representation of the classical story of Cimon and Pero, a tale that originates from Valerius Maximus's "Factorum ac dictorum memorabilium libri IX" and was later popularized by other writers, including Giovanni Boccaccio in his "De Mulieribus Claris."
The engraving depicts the touching narrative of Pero, a devoted daughter, who secretly breastfeeds her imprisoned father, Cimon, to keep him alive when he is sentenced to die by starvation. This act of filial piety and selflessness is captured with Beham's characteristic attention to detail and emotional depth. The composition is marked by its dramatic use of light and shadow, which highlights the intimate and compassionate moment between the father and daughter.
Beham's "Cimon und Pero" is not only a testament to his technical skill as an engraver but also reflects the humanist values of the Renaissance, emphasizing themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and familial duty. The work is notable for its ability to convey a powerful narrative within the confines of a small, monochromatic medium, showcasing Beham's mastery in creating compelling and expressive imagery.
The engraving has been studied for its artistic merit and its place within the broader context of Renaissance art. It serves as an example of how classical themes were reinterpreted and given new life during this period. Today, "Cimon und Pero" remains an important piece within Beham's oeuvre and continues to be appreciated for its emotional resonance and technical excellence.
