6. SPOLIARIUM
by Juan Luna
Juan Luna de San Pedro y Novicio Ancheta
was a Filipino painter, sculptor and a
political activist of the Philippine Revolution
during the late 19th century. He became one
of the first recognized Philippine artists.
Considered the largest painting in the
Philippines, “Spoliarium” is among the
notable art pieces of Filipino painter Juan
Luna. It features the bloody gladiator
matches of Romans but is also an allegory
to the despair and abuses Filipinos suffered
from during the Spanish reign in the country.
The artwork currently stands tall at the
center of the main gallery of the National
Museum of Fine Arts at 4.22 meters x 7.675
meters in dimensions.
7. PLANTING RICE
by Fernando Cueto Amorsolo
Fernando Cueto Amorsolo was a portraitist
and painter of rural Philippine landscapes.
Nicknamed the "Grand Old Man of
Philippine Art," he was the first-ever to be
recognized as a National Artist of the
Philippines.
An artist known for his distinctive art style
and realistic paintings, Filipino painter
Fernando Amorsolo is best known for his
depiction of the country’s culture, its
picturesque sceneries, portraits of women,
and scenes from World War II.
One of his most popular paintings is
“Planting Rice”, where he depicted a group
of farmers both men and women toiling
under the sun.
8. FIRST MASS AT
LIMASAWA
by Carlos Modesto Botong Francisco
Carlos Modesto "Botong" Villaluz Francisco
was a Filipino muralist from Angono, Rizal.
Francisco was a most distinguished
practitioner of mural painting for many
decades and best known for his historical
pieces. He was one of the first Filipino
modernists along with Galo
Ocampo and Victorio C. Edades who broke
away from Fernando
Amorsolo's romanticism of Philippine
scenes. According to restorer Helmuth Josef
Zotter, Francisco's art "is a prime example
of linear painting where lines and contours
appear like cutouts.
An interpretation of the first documented
Christian mass in the Philippines in 1521,
“First Mass at Limasawa” is one of Carlos
Modesto “Botong” Villaluz Francisco’s most
important paintings.
10. BONIFACIO
MONUMENT
by Guillermo Tolentino
Guillermo Estrella Tolentino was a
Filipino sculptor and professor of the
University of the Philippines. He was
designated as a National Artist of the
Philippines for Sculpture in 1973, three
years before his death.
The Bonifacio Monument or Monumento
is a memorial monument designed by
National Artist Guillermo Tolentino to
commemorate Philippine revolutionary
Andrés Bonifacio, the founder and
Supremo of the Katipunan. The
monument is located in a roundabout in
Grace Park, Caloocan City.
11. RETABLO
by Napoleon Abueva
Polychromed Wood, 17th Century
This “retablo” (altarpiece) was executed in 1617 by the
carver Juan de los Santos, as the main altarpiece of
San Agustin Church in Manila. Later – some said in the
XVII, other in the XVIII Century-, was transferred here,
to the sacristy, because its ionic-corinthian style no
longer conformed with the renovations in the church,
which were patterned after the then fashionable
baroque style.
This “retablo” shows the symmetry of Renaissance
architecture, and the broken arch pediment in the
upper part the influence of mannerist style.
The original wood gilded image of “santos” (Saints) that
filled the niches were stolen by the British in 1762, and
the North American soldiers in 1898. Some of the
“santos” that are actually in the niches, were donated
in 1971 by Enrique Santamaría; others came from the
Augustinian Monastery of Cebú.
12. SIYAM NA DIWATANG
SINING
by NAPOLEON V. ABUEVA
The Hardin ng mga Diwata takes its
name from and hosts the Abueva
sculptural piece, Siyam na Diwata ng
Sining. This reinforced concrete work
represents the nine muses of art:
architecture, dance, film, literature,
music, painting, photography,
sculpture, and theater. The nude
muses, spread around atop a ring-like
pedestal are rendered in various
stances. Despite strong formal traces
of neo-classical influences, their
relaxed poses and generous gestures
temper the usual severity that the
tradition is known for.
14. INTRAMUROS
by Designed by
Geronimo Tongco and
Pedro Jusepe
Intramuros is the 0.67-square-kilometer
historic walled area within the city of Manila,
the capital of the Philippines. It is
administered by the Intramuros
Administration with the help of the city
government of Manila.
Intramuros was initially called Ciudad
Murada or Walled City and it was the capital
of the Spaniards in the Philippines.
The Walled City served as the primary
defense against invasions and attacks from
land and sea — the Chinese
pirate Limahong, the Dutch, city rebels and
the British. Over the years, this fortress was
further equipped with moats, ramparts,
bastions, gates and sentry towers to improve
protection against enemies.
15. SAN AGUSTIN CHURCH
by Juan de Macías (1587–
1607)
San Agustin Church is located in General Luna
St, Manila, Metro Manila. The present structure
is actually the third Augustinian church erected
on the site. The first San Agustin Church was
the first religious structure constructed by
the Spaniards on the island of Luzon. Made
of bamboo and nipa, it was completed in 1571,
but destroyed by fire in December 1574 during
the attempted invasion of Manila by the forces
of Limahong. A second wooden structure built
on the same site was destroyed in February
1583 by a fire that started when a candle
ignited drapery on the funeral bier during
services for Spanish Governor-General
Gonzalo Ronquillo de Peñalosa
16. THE MIND MUSEUM
by Ed Calma
The Mind Museum is a science
museum in Taguig, Metro
Manila, Philippines. It is located on a
1.2-hectare (3.0-acre) lot in the J. Y.
Campos Park in Bonifacio Global
City, a business district of the city.
The museum was designed by
architect Ed Calma from Lor Calma
& Partners. The design of the
structure was inspired from cellular
structure and growth and had a solar
reflective exterior, natural
wind ventilation and rainwater flow
drainage.
