EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting print captures the tragic tale of Count Ugolino della Gherardesca, a tyrant of Pisa who met a cruel fate. In this representation, we see Ugolino locked in the tower of Gualandi alongside his children by Archbishop Ruggieri degli Ubaldini. Condemned to starvation, their desperate struggle for survival unfolds within these cold stone walls. The artist Tangieri Credi Scarpelli masterfully brings this historical event to life with striking detail and emotion. The anguished expressions on the faces of Ugolino and his children convey their unimaginable suffering as they face an agonizing death. Their hollow eyes speak volumes about the depths of despair they have endured. This illustration is part of Paolo Giudici's "Storia d'Italia" (History of Italy), published in 1930, which aimed to chronicle significant moments in Italian history. Through this artwork, Scarpelli skillfully captures the essence of one such moment that has become synonymous with tragedy and human suffering. As we gaze upon this image, it serves as a poignant reminder of the fragility and vulnerability inherent in our existence. It prompts us to reflect on themes such as power, cruelty, and ultimately the indomitable spirit that resides within each individual faced with insurmountable odds. In preserving this historical event through artistry and photography, Bridgeman Images allows us to bear witness to Count Ugolino's harrowing ordeal while honoring his memory as an enduring symbol of resilience amidst adversity.
