This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled Battle of Gladiators designed from a painting by Paris Bordone shows a scene in the city streets outside of the Coliseum of gladiators engaged in fighting. Gladiator fighting was used for many occasions, mainly entertainment for the people. Some of the reasons include birthdays or to commemorate military victories and other celebrations. The men who fought in these events were usually prisoners of war, slaves or criminals, and the fights were to the death. While the gladiators are engaged in fighting each other in the streets, a scene is also taking place in the clouds. The entire scene has a wide spacious panoramic feeling which translates into a large pattern to stitch, but it is well worth the it! Only full cross stitches are used in our patterns. No blended colors are used. We only use an abundance of solid colors as it produces a more realistic effect.
