Spoliarium Painting by Juan Luna
An oil painting on poplar, the Spoliarium was painted by Juan Luna in Rome in 1884, winning the second prize at the Madrid Academy Exhibition of Oil Paintings. The Municipality of Barcelona purchased this chef dʼoeuvre for the City Hall. It is arguably the most internationally renowned piece of modern Filipino art.
Today, the Spoliarium can be viewed in the main gallery located on the ground floor of the National Museum of the Philippines.
