"King Salomon Being Cursed by his Mother" (1857) is a painting by Hungarian artist Soma Orlai Petrich (1822–1880), known for his historical and mythological works. The painting depicts a dramatic and emotional scene from a narrative involving the biblical King Solomon, renowned for his wisdom and, according to various accounts, his eventual straying from the path of righteousness. In this artwork, Petrich captures the moment when Solomon's mother, traditionally identified as Bathsheba, curses her son. This act could be interpreted as a response to Solomon's idolatry or moral failings, which are recounted in religious texts.

Orlai Petrich, a prominent figure in 19th-century Hungarian art, studied in Vienna and Munich before traveling to Italy, where he was influenced by the works of the Italian masters. His style often reflected the academic art traditions of the time, characterized by precise technique, rich detail, and a focus on historical and literary themes. "King Salomon Being Cursed by his Mother" is an example of his engagement with biblical subject matter, offering a window into the artist's interpretation of scriptural stories and their moral implications.

The painting is notable for its expressive portrayal of the characters and the dynamic interaction between them. The use of color, light, and composition all serve to enhance the emotional impact of the scene. As with many of Petrich's works, this painting reflects the artist's skill in conveying complex human emotions and interactions through his art.

While "King Salomon Being Cursed by his Mother" is not as widely recognized as some of Petrich's other works, it remains an important piece within his oeuvre, illustrating his versatility and his ability to bring to life the rich narratives of the past. The painting is a testament to the enduring fascination with biblical stories and their capacity to inspire artists across generations.
