"La Maledizione Paterna" (The Father's Curse) is a painting by the French artist Jean-Baptiste Greuze (1725–1805), who was renowned for his genre paintings and portraiture that often carried moral themes. Created in the 18th century, this work is part of Greuze's series of moralizing domestic scenes that reflect the Enlightenment's interest in virtue, family, and the natural order of society.

The painting depicts a dramatic moment within a family setting, where a father appears to be expelling his son from the home, presumably as a result of some disobedience or disgraceful act committed by the young man. The scene is charged with emotion, as the other family members exhibit varying degrees of shock, despair, and grief at the unfolding event. Greuze's skill in capturing the nuances of human expression and emotion is evident in this work, as is his ability to convey a complex narrative within a single frame.

Greuze's paintings often served as visual sermons, emphasizing the importance of family values and the consequences of vice and virtue. "La Maledizione Paterna" is exemplary of his narrative style, where the moral lesson is clear and the viewer is invited to contemplate the repercussions of moral failings. The painting is a testament to Greuze's reputation as a storyteller through art and his influence on the genre painting of his time.

The exact date of creation for "La Maledizione Paterna" is not clearly documented, and the painting's current location or ownership status is not widely known, which may pose challenges for researchers seeking to study the work in detail. Despite this, the painting remains an important example of Greuze's contribution to 18th-century French art and the broader discourse on morality and family life during the Enlightenment.
