"La Charité" (English: "Charity") is a renowned oil painting by French artist William-Adolphe Bouguereau, created in 1859. This work exemplifies Bouguereau's mastery in the academic painting tradition, showcasing his exceptional skill in rendering the human figure with a polished, almost photographic realism. The painting is a testament to Bouguereau's dedication to classical themes and his ability to infuse them with a sense of contemporary relevance and emotional depth.

The composition of "La Charité" is centered around the allegorical figure of Charity, depicted as a serene and maternal woman who embodies the virtue of selfless love and benevolence. She is portrayed as an angelic presence, surrounded by children who cling to her in search of comfort and protection. The children are rendered with a delicate attention to detail, their expressions and poses reflecting a range of responses to the nurturing care they receive.

Bouguereau's use of soft, diffused lighting enhances the ethereal quality of the scene, while his skillful use of color and texture brings a warmth and tenderness to the depiction of the figures. The painting's composition, with its harmonious arrangement of figures and flowing drapery, draws the viewer's eye to the central theme of charity as a guiding moral principle.

"La Charité" was well-received in its time and continues to be celebrated for its technical proficiency and its poignant portrayal of human compassion. The painting is often cited as a prime example of Bouguereau's artistry and his contribution to the French academic tradition. It remains an important work in the study of 19th-century European art and continues to resonate with audiences for its timeless message and exquisite execution.
