Spolarium
Upon seeing this painting Spolarium by Juan Luna, the first thing that comes to my mind is it depicts of what is the life living
scenario by the Filipinos or how the Filipinos are being treated by the Spaniards. As you can see in this artwork the Filipino
suffered from social ills of the country like violence. Indeed, it emphasized the violation of Human Rights by the colonizers
of the Spain. They are being killed by the colonizers that were being portrayed in the painting. Look around the artwork you
will see their hardships and there's a lot of people crying and fighting for the rights of the Filipinos from abusive colonizers
before. And how creative Juan Luna is, he can persuade his message through painting. The use of color in the painting was
able to catch attention in the point of interest. He uses red in the center and a shade of green in the darkness. And the use
of shape created a bolder scene. The shape is also used with alternation, a dominance in the shape of the body is given
attraction. And of all the striking elements, the composition is the most evident. Because of its asymmetrical patterns, it
provides a comparison between light and darkness, the horror of dragged corpses against the mourning of a lady, the thin
almost skeletal bodies of aged men versus muscular soldiers slaughtered in their prime. With everything pointing to the
message: the carnage of human rights violation
What I learned about the history of Spolarium is that the purpose of Juan Luna why he made this artwork was to
awaken Filipinos from ignorance, blindness, and oppression from the colonizers. Indeed, the Spoliarium of Juan Luna gave
him the chance to tell the whole world that painting is not a mere art of mixing and integrating different colors; to make a
masterpiece livelier and more historically relevant. But it is an expression of one’s idea of liberty, self-respect, and his or her
dynamic views about the varying social ills of a nation like the freedom-loving Philippines had gone through the years. Also,
the corpses that are dragged is painted with a ration 9:1, the body is nine times bigger than that of the head. because Juan
Luna wants to express life thru the body. By painting the body larger than any other life emphasize life. And it is one of the
most popular painting in the Philippines, because it depicts the 19 Th Century horror experience of the Filipino.
