"The Paralytic (La Piété Filiale)" is a notable painting by the French artist Jean-Baptiste Greuze, created in 1763. Greuze, an influential figure in 18th-century French art, is renowned for his genre paintings that often depict scenes of domestic life imbued with moral and sentimental undertones. "The Paralytic" is a prime example of his ability to blend narrative content with emotional depth, capturing the viewer's attention through its poignant subject matter and meticulous execution.

The painting portrays a touching scene of familial devotion and care. At the center of the composition is an elderly, paralyzed man, who is being attentively tended to by his family. The figures are arranged in a manner that emphasizes their collective concern and compassion, with each family member engaged in an act of service or support. The expressions on their faces convey a range of emotions, from sorrow and empathy to determination and hope, reflecting the complex dynamics of caregiving and familial love.

Greuze's use of light and shadow enhances the emotional impact of the scene, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figure of the paralytic and highlighting the tender interactions between the family members. The detailed rendering of textures, such as the softness of the fabrics and the aged skin of the paralytic, adds to the realism and immediacy of the painting.

"The Paralytic" was well-received in its time, contributing to Greuze's reputation as a master of genre painting. It exemplifies the Enlightenment ideals of virtue and moral instruction, as it underscores the values of filial piety and compassion. Today, the painting is considered an important work in the canon of 18th-century French art, reflecting both the artistic and cultural milieu of the period.
