"Ugolino and His Sons" is a renowned sculpture by the French artist Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux, created between 1857 and 1861. The work is inspired by a tragic episode from Dante Alighieri's "Inferno," part of his 14th-century epic poem "The Divine Comedy." The sculpture depicts the harrowing story of Count Ugolino della Gherardesca, who, along with his sons and grandsons, was imprisoned and left to starve to death by his political rivals in Pisa.

Carpeaux's sculpture captures the moment of intense despair and suffering as described by Dante, where Ugolino is seen with his offspring, who are either dead or dying from starvation. The count's figure is central and dominant, characterized by a powerful expression of grief and resignation. His sons are portrayed in various states of agony, with the younger children imploring their father for help, while the older ones seem to have accepted their fate.

The work is a masterful example of Carpeaux's skill in expressing raw human emotion and his ability to translate literary narrative into visual form. The sculpture's dynamic composition, the intricate detailing of the figures, and the emotional intensity all contribute to its status as a significant piece of 19th-century French sculpture. "Ugolino and His Sons" is also a testament to the influence of Romanticism on Carpeaux, showcasing the movement's characteristic focus on dramatic subject matter and the exploration of the darker aspects of human experience.

Originally sculpted in plaster, the work was later cast in bronze. It gained critical acclaim and contributed to Carpeaux's reputation as one of the leading sculptors of his time. Today, "Ugolino and His Sons" can be found in several prominent collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, which houses one of the most famous versions of this poignant sculpture.
