EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures the haunting sculpture of "Ugolino and his Children" by Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux. Created in 1860 and cast in bronze around 1871, this masterpiece resides in the Dallas Museum of Art, Texas, USA. The sculpture depicts Count Ugolino della Gherardesca, an Italian nobleman known for his political involvement and naval command. However, he was often accused of treason and is famously portrayed in Dante's Divine Comedy. In this poignant artwork, Ugolino is shown with his children amidst immense agony and despair. Chains bind them all together as they suffer from hunger and imprisonment. The sculptor skillfully conveys their anguish through intricate details that evoke a sense of tragedy within the viewer. Carpeaux's statue not only showcases the punishment inflicted upon Ugolino but also emphasizes the profound impact it has on his family. It serves as a powerful reminder of the consequences that can befall those who face accusations of betrayal. This print allows us to appreciate Carpeaux's mastery while contemplating themes such as familial bonds, suffering, and justice. As we gaze upon this work of art, we are transported into a moment frozen in time - one that encapsulates both historical significance and timeless human emotions.
