Spolarium

Spolarium was painted by Juan Luna. His Spolarium was all about blooded bodies of gladiators who were drawn as slaves; and dragged away from the wide and powerful arena as they attempted to fight their Roman oppressors, with their own precious and God given lives. In addition, these slaves on this world renowned painting of Juan Luna were physically stripped of their clothing in order to gratify the lewd and devilish contempt of those Roman oppressors.
I find this painting very symbolic and saddening. I find it violent and vulgar but at the same time i'm amazed by how it was painted very detail.
