EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the masterpiece "Cimon Pero Roman Charity" by Jean-Baptiste Greuze, a renowned French artist from the 18th century. Painted in 1767, this oil on canvas artwork measures 65.4 x 81.4 cm (25 3/4 x 32 1/16 inches), and it beautifully captures a poignant moment of selfless love and sacrifice. The painting depicts an ancient Roman tale known as "Roman Charity". In this scene, Cimon, a prisoner sentenced to death by starvation, is visited by his daughter Pero in jail. Overwhelmed with compassion for her father's suffering, she secretly breastfeeds him to keep him alive. This act of unconditional love symbolizes filial devotion and highlights the power of familial bonds. Greuze masterfully portrays the emotions of both characters through subtle brushstrokes and delicate lighting effects. The tender expression on Pero's face reflects her deep affection for her father, while Cimon's gratitude is evident in his eyes filled with tears. This remarkable piece exemplifies Greuze's talent for capturing human sentimentality and moral virtue within his works. It serves as a reminder that even in dire circumstances, acts of kindness can prevail over adversity.
