This painting looks weird, but the story behind it is amazing. The name is Cimon and Pero. This painting was painted around 1520 by artists from southern Germany and northern Italy.
The reign of Louis the Fourteenth of France sentences a poor man to "starvation to death" for stealing a loaf of bread. She was his only daughter and the only visitor to his cabin. Although he was allowed to visit him daily, he was thoroughly examined as he did not eat.
When the person survived without losing weight even after 4 months, the authorities were baffled and started spying on her in the cell, and they were surprised. She milked her baby to her father as much as possible. Then the judges realized the woman's mercy and love for her father and forgave the father and set him free. This piece of history brings into focus the depth of a woman's compassion that men often tend to overlook in our everyday lives. This painting of Cimon and Pero in a cell was sold for 30 million euros.
