Practice Task 2
Direction: Read the description of Spoliarium from the National Museum
Website and answer the questions below.
SPOLIARIUM 19th Century
Juan Luna
The painitng features a glimpse of Roma history centered on the bloody carnage brought by gladiator
matches. Spoliarium is a latin word referring to the basement of the Roman Colosseum where the
fallen and dying gladiators dumped and devoid of
the worldly possesions.

At the center of Luna’s painting are fallen gladiators being dragged by Roman soldiers. On the left,
spectators ardently await their chance to strip off the combatants of their
metal helmets and other armory. In contrast with the charged
emotions featured on the left, the right side meanwhile presents a somber mood. An old man carries a
torch perhaps searching for his son while a woman weeps the
death of her loved one.

The Spoliarium is the most valuable oil-on-canvas painting by Juan Luna, a Filipino educated at the
Academia de Dibujo y Pintura (Philippines) and at the Academia de
San Fernando in Madrid, Spain. With size of 4.22 meters x 7.675, it is the largest painting in the
Philippines. A historical painting, it was made by Luna in 1884 as an entry to the prestigious Exposicion
de bellas Artes (Madrid Art Exposition, May 1884)
and eventually won for him the First Gold Medal.
