EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print of "Roman Charity" by Nicolas Regnier, we are transported to a moment in ancient Rome that depicts the profound depths of compassion and sacrifice. The painting, housed in the Galleria e Museo Estense in Modena, Italy, beautifully captures an act of selflessness that transcends time. At its heart, the image portrays a scene where an elderly man named Cimon is imprisoned and left to starve. However, his daughter Pero defies societal norms and risks her own well-being to save him. With unwavering love and devotion, she secretly breastfeeds her father through the prison bars. The artist's skillful brushwork brings forth emotions that resonate deeply within us. We witness Pero's tender expression as she gazes upon her father with empathy and determination. Her act symbolizes not only filial duty but also the universal power of maternal instinct. Regnier masterfully conveys themes such as sacrifice, familial bonds, and human resilience through this poignant artwork. It serves as a reminder that even in times of despair or hardship, acts of kindness can prevail over adversity. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate every intricate detail captured by Regnier centuries ago. As we contemplate this masterpiece today, it continues to inspire awe at the enduring capacity for love and compassion found within humanity throughout history.
