"Pollice Verso" is a painting by 19th century French artist Gerome which depicts a Roman gladiatorial battle at its end, with the audience giving a thumbs down to signal for the defeated to be killed. The rich and vivid reds, golds, and browns with the high detail create a dramatic and lifelike scene of a battle to the death in the Roman Colloseum. The lighting shows the day in high definition with the crowd extending in the background to thousands of numbers.Shop painting reproduction on canvas.
