Ugolino and his Sons by Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux
Based on the story in Dante's Inferno, Ugolino betrayed his city Genoa and imprisoned with his sons and grandsons. Here he is contemplating eating his kids because he's starving to death, and they're begging him to do it. Ugolino was banished to the lowest circle of hell in the second ring, with only his head exposed out of the ice, forever gnawing on Ruggeri (the archbishop, his coconspirator).
