Painting #C08 - The Bad Mothers

The Bad Mothers
- Giovanni Segantini (1858–1899, Italian)
- oil on canvas (105 × 200 cm) in 1894
- Austrian Gallery Belvedere (Vienna)

The 'bad' mothers, entangled in difficulties, could not provide for their children. Seems that painter Segantini could not accept and forgive his poor mother and poor family that he was born to.
        "Segantini spent his early years with his mother, who experienced severe depression ..... marked by poverty, hunger and limited education due to his mother's inability to cope. In the spring of 1865 his mother died after spending the past seven years in increasingly poor health."
