Ruins of the legistive building by Fernando Amorsolo (1945) known for his idealized portrayal of
Philippine rural life and beautiful scenic landscapes, Fernando amorsolo’s depictions of the
world war II devastation of manila were in stark contrast to his usual subject matter. Amorsolo
was known to have spent his time during the war in his hone in manila, which was near the
Japanese garrisons. From here, he sketched vivid images of the city’s destruction which he
managed to see from his window and rooftop. The picture showcases the usual spectrum of
gentle colors seen in amorsolo’s landscapes. However, the ruins of a once impressive structure
give the viewer an idea of the incredible aftermath of the war. The legistive building was said to
be the gransdest and most impressive structure of all public building constructed during the
American occupation. It is now the national museum of fine arts.
