Fernando Amorsolo's painting 'Planting Rice' depicts the arrival of the Americans in the

Philippines, as well as the artist's optimism in Philippine culture. The Filipino peasants develop
beside a beautiful and verdant environment, dressed in bright clothes and straw hats. The
peaceful steam canal is concealed behind the people and farmers of the Philippines. 'Planting
Rice with Mayon Volcano' displays happiness despite the difficulties of rice planting. Mayon is a
well-known Philippine emblem, and its inclusion in Amorsolo's painting demonstrates his
intention to depict the country's soul on canvas. The artwork by Fernando Amorsolo essentially
depicts the typical Filipino activity of men and women working on the farm. The Filipino
people's basic way of life is something that everyone should admire.
