Meaning/Message
His Spoliarium was all about the
bloodied 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
The painting can be interpreted in
three ways, by literal and popular
interpretation where the lady sitting in
the sofa was identified as a flirt and
prostitute, by tragic and biographical
interpretation which discusses the
personal experience of Luna with his
wife who had an affair with another
man, and that the woman in the
painting has a “geographical likeness”
to the mirror-image of the archipelago
of the Philippines.
Meaning/Message
This painting falls under the
classification of painting as Genre
painting as it is painted in the
contemporary life of the Filipino
farmers in 195. Rice planting is among
those that depicts the real Filipino
tradition that is still applicable until the
present time.
The painting shows three women namely
Marcella Marino de Agoncillo (on the right
side) refer as the mother of the Philippine
flag, with the help of Lorenza and Delfina
Herbosa de Natividad which is actually the
daughter of Marcela. They was tasked by
Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo to sew the first flag
for the new republic. The clothes that the
women are wearing are an older style, more
vintage and really depict the traditional
styles. The skirts the women’s are wearing
are long and their tops were like a traditional
“kimona”. The three women are sewing
passionately which demonstrates elegance.
