Sentenced to death by starvation

This painting was created during the reign of Louis XIV in France.

The picture shows a poor man sentenced to death by starvation for stealing bread, so the authorities imprisoned him.

Daughter breastfeeding her father

The woman in the picture is his daughter, the only person who visited him in prison. She came every day, she was always thoroughly searched to determine that no food had been brought in. When 4 months had passed, the man was still alive, not even lost weight, so it was strange to them how it was possible, then they started spying in the cell they were completely surprised when they saw and found him breastfeeding the father.

Then the judges realized the compassion and love of the daughter for her father, they pardoned and released This picture of a young woman breastfeeding an old man in a prison cell was sold for 30 million euros. It may seem morbid, but this is really a true story.

This piece of history brings into focus how deep female compassion is in our daily lives that men often overlook.

There are a couple more similar pictures with the same theme.

Belfry of Ghent

There are also plenty of wives who breasfeed their husband. You knew that? It seems the milk helps/cures cancer too.

The daughter's love for her father is endless, even though this seems unnatural, that is how she saved his life.

I've read this before and if we really know the story behind we will surely judge with how we see it. Thank you for sharing and reminding me this. 🥰

What a story, on the one hand it is morbid and on the other emotional and respectful.

Under normal circumstances, this would be unacceptable, but bearing in mind that saving this life for one's father is acceptable.

An unusual story, unusual, and some say unnatural, but when it comes to life, that is also possible.

This famous picture is really fascinating. That man is prisoned and sentenced to starvation, because he stole one bread. They release him, after big efforts of daughter feeding with breast milk. So sad and so true.

Strange painting.It is not common for someone to draw such a picture.It is more normal that mother feeds her baby with breast.But in this case if she did not feed her father he would die.

Usually this phenomenon and action is not normal. But, in this case, I approve for sure. This was the only way for the daughter to feed her father who was starving and in prison.

It is not normal for this to happen. Yes it is morbid. But earlier in such cases there was compassion, regret. Importantly, it hit the judges by releasing him.
