Spoliarium by Juan
Luna
The Spoliarium (often misspelled Spolarium) is a
painting by Filipino painter Juan Luna. The painting was
submitted by Luna to the Exposición Nacional de Bellas
Artes in 1884 in Madrid, where it garnered the first gold
medal (out of three).[1] In 1886, it was sold to the
Diputación Provincial de Barcelona for 20,000 pesetas.
It currently hangs in the main gallery at the first floor of
the National Museum of Fine Arts in Manila, and is the
first work of art that greets visitors upon entry into the
museum. The picture recreates a despoiling scene in a
Roman circus where dead gladiators are stripped of
weapons and garments.
Spoliarium as displayed in the National Museum
of the Philippines
Luna, working on canvas, spent eight months
completing the painting which depicts dying
gladiators. Filipino historian Ambeth Ocampo
writes, "...the fact remains that when Luna and
Félix Resurrección Hidalgo won the top awards
in the Madrid Exposition of 1884, they proved
to the world that indios could, despite their
supposed barbarian race, paint better than the
Spaniards who colonized them."
