"UGOLINO AND HIS SONS" 14in x 18in $2800
This is a portion of a sculpture by French artist Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux. Dante Alighieri’s medieval epic, "Inferno," tells the story of Count Ugolino della Gherardesca, a traitor who was imprisoned, condemned to starvation. One morning in the tower where he was starving to death, Ugolino began gnawing at his own hands and his sons told him to eat them instead, willingly sacrificing their own bodies. Ugolino stopped biting his hands, seeing how it troubled his sons. Over time, his sons died one by one and then Ugolino says ambiguously that "famine did what sorrow could not do."
