EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a sketch sculpture in terracotta by Jean Baptiste Carpeaux, depicting the infamous Ugolin (Count Ugolino della Gherardesca), tyrant of Pisa and traitor to his homeland. Surrounded by his four children, this evocative artwork brings to life the character from Dante Alighieri's renowned literary masterpiece, "The Divine Comedy". Carpeaux's meticulous craftsmanship is evident in every detail of this haunting portrayal. The anguished expression on Ugolin's face reflects the torment he endured in Hell as described by Dante. His treacherous actions have condemned him for eternity, forever etched into history. The artist masterfully captures the emotional weight of Ugolin's betrayal through intricate carving techniques. Each crease and wrinkle on his face tells a story of remorse and regret. The presence of his innocent children adds an element of tragedy, emphasizing the consequences that extend beyond one man's choices. Displayed at Musee d'Orsay in Paris, this remarkable piece invites viewers to contemplate themes such as power, loyalty, and redemption. It serves as a reminder that even those who wield authority can fall victim to their own ambitions. Jean Baptiste Carpeaux's skillful interpretation breathes life into Dante Alighieri's words while paying homage to both literature and artistry. This photograph preserves the essence of this profound sculpture for generations to come, allowing us to delve deeper into humanity’s complex nature through visual storytelling.
