Maledizione di una madre is a 1894 oil by Ponziano Loverini, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Accademia Carrara.
The painting depicts two women in a room with a bed and a dresser. The woman on the left wears a red dress with gold accents, while the woman on the right is dressed in dark colors. The room appears to be in disarray, with objects scattered on the floor. A cross hangs on the wall behind the women, adding a sense of solemnity to the scene. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of quiet contemplation, inviting the viewer to reflect on the story being told.
