EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux's sculpture, "Detail of Ugolino and His Sons". Created between 1865-67, this masterpiece is carved from Saint-Beat marble and is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The sculpture depicts 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 tragic story was immortalized by Dante Alighieri in his epic poem "Divine Comedy" specifically Canto XXXIII of Inferno. Carpeaux's attention to detail is evident as he captures the desperation and anguish on each figure's face. The sculptor skillfully portrays the emaciated bodies clinging together for comfort amidst their hunger and suffering. The nakedness of these captives adds an element of vulnerability that enhances the emotional impact of the artwork. With its realistic portrayal and naturalistic style, Carpeaux's sculpture exemplifies both French romanticism and Italian realism. The use of marble further enhances its timeless beauty, creating a stunning visual representation that evokes empathy from viewers. Through this photo print, we are reminded not only of Carpeaux's artistic brilliance but also of humanity's capacity for cruelty. It serves as a poignant reminder that even within great works of art lies stories steeped in tragedy and despair.
