EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux's masterpiece, "Detail of Ugolino and His Sons". Created between 1865-67, this sculpture is carved from Saint-Beat marble and is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The artwork depicts the tragic tale of Count Ugolino della Gherardesca, a Pisan traitor who was imprisoned with his sons and grandsons by the Ghibellines in 1288. Left to starve to death in the Muda tower, their suffering is vividly portrayed through Carpeaux's exceptional craftsmanship. Carved with remarkable naturalism and realism, this French sculptor captures the desperation and hunger experienced by these noble prisoners. The naked bodies of Ugolino and his sons reveal their vulnerability as they face imminent death. This poignant representation draws inspiration from Dante's Inferno canto XXXIII, adding another layer of depth to the artwork. Carpeaux skillfully combines elements of Romanticism with Italian carving techniques to create a truly evocative piece. The intricate details on each figure's face convey their anguish while emphasizing their noble lineage. As we gaze upon this stunning photograph print, we are transported back in time to witness the profound suffering endured by this captive family. It serves as a powerful reminder of humanity's capacity for both cruelty and resilience.
