"Generous Schoolboys" is a notable painting by the 18th-century British artist William Redmore Bigg, created in 1789. The artwork is emblematic of Bigg's genre paintings, which often depicted scenes of rural and domestic life, emphasizing moral virtues and the simplicity of country living. "Generous Schoolboys" stands out in Bigg's oeuvre for its portrayal of compassion and generosity among children, themes that were particularly resonant in the context of 18th-century British society, which was increasingly concerned with moral education and the cultivation of virtue.

The painting captures a moment of charitable action, as a group of well-dressed schoolboys attend to a poorer boy, offering him food and comfort. This scene not only reflects the social inequalities of the time but also serves as an idealized representation of empathy and kindness. The composition, with its attention to detail and the expressive faces of the children, highlights Bigg's skill in narrative storytelling through visual means.

"Generous Schoolboys" was well-received in its time, reflecting the public's appetite for art that depicted moral lessons and virtuous behavior. The painting can be seen as part of a broader trend in 18th-century British art, which included works by artists like William Hogarth and Joshua Reynolds, who also explored themes of morality and ethics in their work.

Today, "Generous Schoolboys" is appreciated not only for its aesthetic qualities and its representation of 18th-century attire and customs but also as a historical document that offers insight into contemporary values and concerns regarding childhood, education, and morality. The painting remains a significant work in the study of British art history and continues to be discussed for its contribution to the genre of moralistic and narrative painting.
