Antonio Narciso Luna de San Pedro y Novicio Ancheta (Spanish:[anˈtonjoˈluna]; October 29, 1866 – June 5, 1899) was a Filipino army general and a pharmacist who fought in the Philippine–American War before his assassination on June 5, 1899, at the age of 32.
Regarded as one of the fiercest generals of his time, he succeeded Artemio Ricarte as the Commanding General of the Philippine Army.

"It makes it more exciting na mayroon pa tayong ma-appreciate na mga gawa ng masters at mga gawa about our heroes. It reminds us that history is ever fresh, ever new, and it restores hope to humanity," Chua told L!fe. The Pinoy historian looks at this opportunity as an implication that Filipinos are actually "great people" worthy of other nations' respect. "Kasi si Benlliure is Spanish naman yan e, but he was a noted sculptor, very famous, and he paid homage to Juan Luna y Novicio, who is not just a master artist of the Philippines but one of our patriots," he said. He continued, "When you see this, side by side with Spoliarium you would also realize that ito yung Pilipino sa panahon na we are being belittled by some people, by some Europeans. We [are] actually a great people and these Spaniards paid tribute to us." The artwork is now part of the NMP's National Fine Arts Collection and is available for viewing starting Wednesday, October 11, at the museum's Spolarium Hall.
