Sublimation Dye Print on Aluminum 24" X 24" Edition of 15


Originally sculpted in 1830 by Denis Foyatier for the Jardin des Tuileries, this larger-than-life Spartacus once stood among great figures of history, breaking his chains in a triumphant act of defiance. In 1877, he was relocated to the Louvre, where he now stands frozen in marble—his rebellion halted, his struggle immortalized. Once a symbol of freedom, he is now a captive of the museum, watched by countless visitors who pass him each day, unaware that the weight of his captivity endures.
