"Roman Charity" is a painting by the French artist Jean François de Troy, a prominent painter of the Rococo period. The work is an oil on canvas and depicts the story of Cimon and Pero, a tale of filial piety from Roman folklore. The narrative, which became a popular subject in art, particularly during the 17th and 18th centuries, tells of Pero, a woman who secretly breastfeeds her father, Cimon, after he is imprisoned and sentenced to death by starvation. The act of Pero nursing her father, also known as "Caritas Romana," exemplifies the virtue of charity in its most selfless form.

Jean François de Troy (1679–1752) was a French painter and engraver who became the director of the French Academy in Rome and was known for his history paintings, religious scenes, and depictions of contemporary social events. In "Roman Charity," de Troy captures the emotional intensity of the scene with a delicate interplay of light and shadow, using his skillful technique to highlight the expressions and the moral gravity of the moment.

The painting is a testament to de Troy's mastery of classical themes and his ability to infuse them with the elegance and grace characteristic of the Rococo style. It is also an example of how artists of the period revisited historical and mythological subjects, imbuing them with contemporary sensibilities and moral overtones. "Roman Charity" by Jean François de Troy is not only a significant work in the artist's oeuvre but also an important cultural artifact that reflects the artistic and ethical values of its time.
