Ugolino
Here are two version of Ugolino & His Sons by the French sculptor Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux. Ugolino was a 13th Century Pisan nobleman who apparently starved to death in prison with his sons and grandsons. Dante put Ugolino in the Inferno but with quite a different back story to the historical one.
