EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures the powerful and haunting sculpture of "Ugolino and His Sons" by Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux. Created in 1865-67, this masterpiece is made from Saint-Beat marble and is housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Depicting the tragic tale of Count Ugolino della Gherardesca, his sons Gaddo and Uguccione, along with his grandsons Nino and Anselmuccio, who were imprisoned by the Ghibellines in 1288. Left to starve to death in the Muda tower, their suffering echoes through time. Carpeaux's skillful carving brings forth a sense of realism and naturalism that intensifies the viewer's empathy for these captive men. The nakedness of their bodies symbolizes vulnerability while showcasing their noble stature. Their expressions reveal pain, desperation, and hunger as they face an agonizing fate. Inspired by Dante's Inferno canto XXXIII from "The Divine Comedy" this sculpture embodies themes of suffering and despair. Carpeaux's work combines elements of French Romanticism with Italian Renaissance influences to create a deeply emotional portrayal. This print allows us to appreciate both the artistic mastery behind this piece as well as its historical significance. It serves as a reminder of humanity's capacity for cruelty but also our ability to create art that immortalizes such profound stories.
