EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a hauntingly tragic scene from the sculpture "Ugolino and his Sons" by Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux. This plaster artwork, measuring 53 x 34 cm, depicts the Italian nobleman Ugolino della Gherardesca and his sons in a moment of despair. Ugolino was the leader of the Guelph party in Pisa but was condemned to starve to death in prison for treason. The sculpture portrays him as a father figure, surrounded by his starving sons. Their emaciated bodies and anguished expressions evoke a sense of profound suffering. Carpeaux's skill as a sculptor is evident in this piece, with intricate details bringing each character to life. The artist masterfully conveys the emotional weight of this tragic tale through his artistry. Formerly part of the Brame & Lorenceau collection, this ronde-bosse artwork showcases Carpeaux's talent during the 19th century in France. His works are considered significant contributions to French culture and art history. This powerful image serves as a reminder of human resilience amidst unimaginable hardship. It invites viewers to reflect on themes such as sacrifice, loyalty, and tragedy that have resonated throughout history.
