ウゴリーノと息子たち

Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux French

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 548

ロマン主義の影響を強く受けたこの作品の主題は、ダンテ作『神曲』の第33歌でピサの反逆者ウルゴリーノ・デッラ・ゲラルデスカ伯爵とその息子と孫息子たちが1288年に投獄され、最後には餓死する物語に基づいています。カルポーは、自分たちの体を食べて生き残るよう父親に薦める子供たちの申し出に抵抗するウルゴリーノの苦悩を描いています。作家の空想力と苦悩する人々の描写は、バチカンのシスティーヌ礼拝堂の《最後の審判》(1536–41年)を始めとするミケランジェロの作品に対するカルポーの深い憧憬と、写実的で力強い肉体表現への関心を表しています。
