FB_IMG_1569349111953.jpgThis is a painting that is on the door of what was the prison of Ghent, in Botermark 17, and in which you can see a woman behind some bars breastfeeding an old man. This old man was Simon, a man who was sentenced to starvation in prison. And the woman who breastfeeds her is her daughter Pera, who asked to visit her father, every day in prison. This request was granted to the girl, as long as she did not enter any kind of food. After a month, everyone was surprised to see that this man was still alive. The judge ordered that, on the woman's next visit, she be monitored. So did the jailer, and notified the judge of this fact. The daughter saved her father from death, feeding him with the milk from his chest, which reveals exactly the image of the painting. When the judge was informed of what was happening with the condemned old man, he said: "I will not believe it until I see it with my own eyes." The next day the judge went to make sure, and after the woman breastfed her father, the judge required her presence, and asked the girl: "How can you breastfeed your father?" She fell to her knees before the judge, and said: "I have done it in the love of God." Thanks to this, the judge pardoned the old man and immortalized this sublime act of love, in this picturesque work. I found it somewhere and edited it, for a better understanding, since I had many punctuation and concatenation errors.
