The Oath of Spartacus, Marble statue in Tuileries Garden, France
The marble sculpture depicts a young boy supporting a crucified man while holding a knife, expressing both tenderness and determination in his stance.
Louis-Ernest Barrias created this masterful sculpture between 1869 and 1871, and it has remained in the Tuileries Garden since its installation in 1875.
The sculpture represents young Spartacus witnessing a crucifixion, symbolizing resistance against oppression during the Roman Empire period.
Located in the Grand Carre section of the Tuileries Garden, the 2.1-meter-tall statue stands near the Large Round Basin along the Central Alley.
The boy's damaged left hand gently grasps two fingers of the dying man while his right hand grips a knife with the blade pointing backward.
