"Cimon und Pero" is a renowned engraving by the German artist Hans Sebald Beham, created in 1544 during the Northern Renaissance. The work is also known by its Latin title "Caritas Romana" (Roman Charity). It depicts the story of Pero, a woman who secretly breastfeeds her father, Cimon, in prison to save him from starvation. This narrative, derived from Roman folklore, exemplifies the themes of filial piety and selfless love.

The engraving is a testament to Beham's skill in the German Little Masters movement, a group of artists known for their small, intricate prints. Measuring only a few inches in width and height, "Cimon und Pero" showcases Beham's ability to convey a complex and emotionally charged story within a remarkably small space. His precise lines and attention to detail not only illustrate the narrative but also reflect the broader humanist interest in classical antiquity that was prevalent during the Renaissance.

Hans Sebald Beham, born in Nuremberg in 1500 and active in Frankfurt from the 1520s, was a contemporary of Albrecht Dürer and influenced by the latter's work. Beham's "Cimon und Pero" is part of a larger oeuvre that includes biblical, mythological, and genre scenes, all characterized by their miniature scale and meticulous craftsmanship.

The engraving is held in various art collections and has been the subject of scholarly analysis, particularly in discussions of Renaissance art, the representation of women and familial relationships in art, and the reception of classical themes in Northern European visual culture.
