Roman Charity is a painting by the German Baroque artist Johann Georg Dathan, who was active during the early 18th century. This artwork is a notable example of the theme of Roman Charity, a subject that has been explored by various artists throughout history. The painting depicts the poignant and morally complex story of Pero, a young woman who secretly breastfeeds her imprisoned father, Cimon, to save him from starvation. This act of filial piety and self-sacrifice is drawn from the writings of ancient Roman historians, including Valerius Maximus and Pliny the Elder, and has been a recurring motif in Western art.

Dathan's interpretation of Roman Charity is distinguished by its emotional intensity and meticulous attention to detail. The composition typically features Pero and Cimon in a confined, dimly lit prison cell, emphasizing the dire circumstances and the clandestine nature of Pero's actions. Dathan's use of light and shadow enhances the dramatic effect, drawing the viewer's focus to the tender interaction between father and daughter. The artist's skillful rendering of textures, from the roughness of the prison walls to the softness of human skin, adds a layer of realism to the scene.

The painting not only highlights the virtues of compassion and familial duty but also invites contemplation on themes of sacrifice, survival, and the human condition. Dathan's work is a testament to the enduring power of classical themes in art and their ability to convey universal human experiences. Roman Charity by Johann Georg Dathan remains an important piece within the Baroque period, reflecting the era's fascination with dramatic narratives and emotional expression.
