"Cimon und Pero" is a notable painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Willem de Poorter. This work of art, which dates back to the 17th century, depicts the classical Roman story of 'Caritas Romana' or 'Roman Charity', where Pero, a woman, secretly breastfeeds her father, Cimon, in prison to save him from starvation. De Poorter's interpretation of this poignant tale of filial piety and compassion is a testament to his skill in capturing the emotional depth and moral complexities of such narratives.

Willem de Poorter (1608–1648/49) was known for his small-scale history paintings and was influenced by the Haarlem school, particularly the works of Frans Hals and Pieter de Grebber. His paintings often featured intricate details and a strong use of chiaroscuro to enhance the dramatic effect of the scenes he portrayed. "Cimon und Pero" is a fine example of de Poorter's mastery in handling light and shadow to evoke a sense of intimacy and solemnity.

While the exact date of creation for "Cimon und Pero" is not well-documented, the painting is reflective of the themes popular during the period, such as virtue, sacrifice, and the power of love. The artwork is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural and historical value, providing insight into the moral and social ideals of the time.

The painting is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail, from the expressions of the figures to the textures of their garments. De Poorter's use of color and composition draws the viewer's attention to the central act of charity, while the surrounding elements of the prison cell add to the narrative context. "Cimon und Pero" remains an important work in the oeuvre of Willem de Poorter and continues to be studied for its contribution to the genre of history painting in Dutch art.
