If you enter by the main entrance of the National Museum of Fine Arts in Philippines, you'll see a painting so huge, it's probably the largest one around. It's 4 meters wide and 7 meters tall.
The painting's name is:
Spoliarium
Spoliarium was painted by Juan Luna - the first to win 3 gold medals during an art exhibition in Spain in the late 1800's. This makes him the most famous Filipino painter and for having been recognized well by art critics all around Spain.
Even though it was originally intended to depict a dying gladiator at a Roman setting, Jose P. Rizal (Philippines' National Hero) described it for something much more relevant to what was happening during their time - colonization and its sins such as slavery. He described Spoliarium in this way through his book "Noli Me Tangere" (Translation: Touch Me Not), which is obligatorily being discussed in high schools.
