NEOCLASSICISM and ROMANTICISM in the Philippines
Here in the Philippines, the ideology of Neoclassicism and Romanticism can be seen through various
major artworks such as paintings, sculptures and architectural structures. Some of the well-known
contributing artists express their skills and ideas in their own respective field of specialization.

(The teacher will show pictures of the various artists paintings during the discussion)
FÉLIX RESURRECCIÓN HIDALGO Y PADILLA (1855-1913) Felix Hidalgo was one of the great
Filipino painters of the late 19th century who was significant in the Philippine history for inspiring
members of the Philippine reform movement.

JUAN LUNA Y NOVICIO (1857-1899) Juan Luna was a painter and sculptor, who became one of
the first recognized Philippine artists. He was also a political activist of the Philippine Revolution
during the late 19th century.
One of his famous artwork was the Spoliarium. Spoliarium is a Latin word referring to the basement
of the Roman Colosseum wherein the fallen and dying gladiators were dumped and devoid of their
worldly possessions. The painting features a glimpse of Roman history centered on the bloody
carnage brought by gladiatorial matches.
The subject of Luna’s Spoliarium can be interpreted as an allegory of Imperial Rome corresponding
to Imperial Spain. The image of the Romans dragging the dead gladiators symbolizes the colonial
oppression of the indigenous populations.

FERNANDO CUETO AMORSOLO (1892-1972) Amorsolo was a National Artist in Painting. He

was a portraitist and painter of rural Philippine landscapes, and he was popularly known for his
craftsmanship and mastery of the use of light.

GUILLERMO ESTRELLA TOLENTINO (1890–1976)

Tolentino is a Filipino sculptor who was named National Artist for the Visual Arts in 1973, and is
hailed as the “Father of Philippine Arts.”

NAPOLEÓN ISABELO VELOSO ABUEVA Abueva is a National artist for Sculpture. He was
entitled as the "Father of Modern Philippine Sculpture". He has been the only Boholano to be given
the distinction of National Artist of the Philippines in the field of Visual Arts.
