Cimon en Pero (easel painting (painting by form); Peter Paul Rubens (Siegen 1577-06-28 - Antwerpen 1640-05-30)...; 1630/1640; Rijksmuseum (Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands); SK-A-345; RM001.collect.5316) | |
Note: At first this seems a strange subject for a painting: a young woman giving her breast to an old man tied up in chains in a bare prison cell. In fact it is a story from Roman history: the tale of Cimon and Pero. Cimon is Pero's father. He is in prison awaiting execution and has been given nothing to eat. Pero has recently had a child and saves her father from starvation by secretly giving him her breast. This relatively large picture was painted by the famous Antwerp artist, Peter Paul Rubens. To enliven the scene, Rubens has added two prying prison guards on the right. | |
