"The Seven Acts of Mercy" (Italian: Sette opere di Misericordia), painted by Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio around 1607, is a renowned oil painting that exemplifies Caravaggio's dramatic use of chiaroscuro and his profound influence on the Baroque school of painting. This masterpiece is housed in the Pio Monte della Misericordia church in Naples, Italy, where it was originally commissioned as an altarpiece. The painting is particularly noted for its realistic depiction of human suffering and compassion, as it illustrates the seven corporal works of mercy as outlined by Christian doctrine.

In this work, Caravaggio combines the seven acts into a single, complex scene set in the dark streets of Naples, a city he fled to after a brawl resulted in a death sentence in Rome. The acts depicted include feeding the hungry, giving drink to the thirsty, clothing the naked, sheltering the homeless, visiting the sick, visiting the imprisoned, and burying the dead. Caravaggio's innovative composition and his ability to convey the raw emotions of the figures involved have made "The Seven Acts of Mercy" a powerful representation of the theme of mercy and an enduring subject of scholarly interest.

The painting is characterized by its dramatic lighting and the intense emotional expressions of its figures, which reflect Caravaggio's personal turmoil and his empathetic engagement with the marginalized individuals of his time. The work's influence extends beyond its religious significance, contributing to the development of Baroque art and serving as a testament to Caravaggio's genius in capturing the human condition. "The Seven Acts of Mercy" remains a pivotal work in the oeuvre of Caravaggio, whose revolutionary approach to painting continues to inspire and provoke viewers to this day.
