1. In both paintings, we can identify a lady as the subject.

Their similarities were that they each

represented a distinct culture. Leonardo da Vinci, renaissance Italian painter famed for his iconic
painting, Mona Lisa, as well as Fernando Amorsolo, a Filipino artist considered as one of the
finest in the Philippines. These two had a very feminine personality, displaying their nation and
period culture.
2. Since Amorsolo emphasized the colors, surface, emotions, and everyday lives of Filipinos living
in a foundation of a universe he created, he passionately conveyed his feelings. He also informs
the crowd how Filipinas have been treated and how they have lived lately. Agricultural area
where both Filipinos and Filipinas worked together to fulfill the needs of the nation and fellow
men.
3. The Palay Maiden is a very Filipino masterpiece. A woman holding a palay while smiling
symbolizes the Filipino culture, since rice is a precious resource in our nation. The Filipinos love
rice. They're working hard to help their nation and families grow. They did not seem to be
seeking independence. Unlike Western beauty, the woman has a round face, a nose, and a dark
brown skin. Finally, what makes the Palay Maiden Philippines is the Palay and the Philippines'
beauty. Beyond the traditional clothing, Filipina has made it unique, displaying modesty,
honesty and purity.
