"Blind Beggar and his Boy" (1632) is a painting by the Spanish Tenebrist painter Jusepe de Ribera, also known as José de Ribera or Lo Spagnoletto. Ribera was renowned for his ability to depict human suffering with a sense of realism and empathy, and this painting is a prime example of his mastery in portraying the plight of the marginalized in society. The work is dated to the period when Ribera was active in Naples, which was then part of the Spanish Empire.

The painting depicts a blind beggar being led by a young boy, presumably his son, through the streets to seek alms. The beggar's outstretched hand and the boy's guiding gesture are central elements of the composition, highlighting their dependence on the charity of others for survival. Ribera's use of chiaroscuro, the strong contrast between light and dark, serves to emphasize the emotional intensity of the scene and the rugged features of the beggar's face, which bears the marks of a hard life.

"Blind Beggar and his Boy" is considered an important work in Ribera's oeuvre, reflecting the artist's interest in naturalism and his ability to convey complex human emotions. The painting's subject matter is consistent with the Counter-Reformation ideals of the time, which encouraged artists to create works that evoked piety and compassion for the less fortunate. Ribera's portrayal of the beggar and his boy is both a powerful social commentary and a testament to his skill in capturing the human condition.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting is part of a private collection or a museum's holdings, and it has been studied by art historians for its artistic and historical significance. Ribera's work continues to be appreciated for its contribution to the Baroque period and its influence on the development of realism in European art.
