"La Piété familiale, ou Le Paralytique" (also known as "Family Piety" or "The Paralytic") is a genre painting by the French artist Jean-Baptiste Greuze, created in 1763. The painting is a notable example of Greuze's work, which often focused on domestic scenes that carried moral messages. This particular painting depicts a touching scene of a family gathered around an elderly paralytic man, illustrating the virtues of familial love and filial piety.

In "La Piété familiale, ou Le Paralytique," Greuze presents a sentimental narrative that was popular in the art of the period, known as the Enlightenment. The painting shows the paralytic father seated in an armchair, surrounded by his devoted children and other family members who attend to his needs with evident concern and tenderness. The central figure of the paralytic is a powerful symbol of human vulnerability, and the family's response to his condition reflects the Enlightenment ideals of compassion, virtue, and the importance of family bonds.

The composition of the painting is carefully constructed to draw the viewer's attention to the emotional interactions between the characters. Greuze's use of light, color, and expressive faces enhances the dramatic impact of the scene. The artist's skill in rendering textures and details contributes to the realism of the work, while also serving to underline the moral message.

Jean-Baptiste Greuze (1725–1805) was renowned for his genre paintings and for his ability to capture the nuances of human emotion and morality. "La Piété familiale, ou Le Paralytique" is considered one of his masterpieces and reflects his talent for storytelling through art. The painting is an important contribution to the genre of moralizing domestic scenes that characterized much of Greuze's oeuvre and provides insight into the social and cultural values of 18th-century France.

The painting is held in a private collection, and its influence can be seen in the works of later artists who were inspired by Greuze's sentimental and moralistic approach to genre painting. "La Piété familiale, ou Le Paralytique" continues to be studied by art historians and scholars for its representation of Enlightenment values and its place within the broader context of French art history.
