Ugolino and His Sons "is an academic creation by Calpo during his study abroad in Italy. According to the composition principles set by the academy, a sculpture is only allowed to have one to two characters. However, Karbo violated this rule by creating four characters first, and later dividing them into five characters to restore the authenticity of history, forming an inseparable group that is tightly intertwined. The reason why this theme fascinates Karl Bo is that he can fully express the psychological conflict between human and animalistic nature through male nudity, better showcasing his romantic passion and realistic expression techniques.
