Description

Oil painting on canvas, Roman Charity (Cimon and Pero) (after Guido Reni) by Isabella Maria dal Pozzo (fl. Turin 1666 – Munich 1700), late 17th century. Two figures, half-length; an old man, left profile, hands clasped, leans forward and sucks the right nipple of the young female figure on right, she is turned slightly to left, head inclined downward gazing at the old man, she clasps her right breast with her left hand. It is illustrating the story told by Valerius Maximus, of Cimon, whose daughter Pero nourished him with her own milk when he was incarcerated without food awaiting execution. It was a popular image for artists of the 16th - 18th centuries in Italy and the Netherlands and was treated as a example of filial piety.

Apparently the only work in Britain by this rare woman painter from Savoy, who spent most of her career at the court of Henriette Adelaide of Savoy, the consort of the Elector of Bavaria. Recorded in the house since 1769.
