"The Punishment of Luxury (also known as Luxurious. Poor Mothers)" is a painting by the Italian artist Giovanni Segantini, created in 1896. This work is part of a series of paintings that explore themes of nature, morality, and the human condition, which are characteristic of Segantini's mature period. The painting is a striking example of Divisionism, a technique related to Pointillism, which Segantini adapted to create a unique luminous quality, using small strokes of pure color to achieve a vibrant, shimmering effect that captures the light and atmosphere of the Alpine landscape he so often depicted.

The title of the painting, "The Punishment of Luxury," suggests a moralistic narrative, a common feature in Segantini's work. It depicts a scene of ethereal female figures floating above the ground, which has been interpreted as an allegory for the consequences of indulgence and the neglect of maternal duties. These figures are contrasted with the earthbound, toiling mothers, who embody the virtues of hard work and the nurturing of children. The juxtaposition of the two groups of women serves as a commentary on societal values and the role of women at the turn of the 20th century.

Measuring 185 x 400 cm, the painting is notable for its large scale, which adds to the dramatic impact of the scene. Segantini's use of the Alpine setting, with its stark beauty and imposing mountains, reinforces the themes of nature's dominance and the smallness of human concerns. The work is held in high regard for its technical mastery, emotional depth, and the way it captures the zeitgeist of the fin de siècle period in Europe.

"The Punishment of Luxury" is considered one of Segantini's masterpieces and is a significant contribution to the Symbolist movement, which sought to express the mystical and emotional aspects of human experience. The painting is housed in the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool, England, where it continues to be a subject of study and admiration for its complex symbolism, technical innovation, and profound philosophical inquiry.
