Carlos V.

Francisco, better known as Botong, was responsible for revolutionising the fine arts
landscape of the Philippines. He departed from the prevailing style of the Amorsolo academic
and launched the modernist movement with his fellow founders of the Modern Triumvirate,
Victorio Edades and Galo Ocampo. Their realist depictions were divergent to the idealised
romantic norms then. Magpupukot (Pulling in the net) is an excellent example of his realist
renderings.
