Juan Novicio Luna was born on October 23, 1857, in the town of Badoc, Ilocos,
Philippines, to parents of Don Joaquin Luna de San Pedro y Posadas and Doña
Laureana Novicio y Ancheta. Juan came from a large family, and he was the third of
seven children. Juan’s interest and passion for art was instigated and fuelled by his
brother, Manuel Luna, who himself was a very talented and skilled painter. Juan began
attending the Ateneo de Manila, where he received his Bachelor of Arts degree, and
later, he went on to enroll himself at the Escuela Nautica de Manila, and became a
sailor.
However, becoming a sailor by profession did not dissuade Juan from giving free reign
to his artistic passions and pursuits to perfect his skill and talent, and thus, he began
taking lessons from the notable and influential painting instructor, Lorenzo Guerrero.
Later, he enrolled himself at the Academia de Dibujo y Pintura, where he benefited from
the tutelage of renowned Spanish artist, Agustin Saez. In 1877, Juan decided to travel
to Europe where he would complete his training and education in the art capitals of
Europe. He enrolled himself at the Escuela de Bellas Artes de San Fernando.
Juan first major artistic achievement came in 1881, when his iconic and remarkable
work, ‘The Death of Cleopatra’, was awarded a silver medal at the Exposicion Nacional
de Bellas Artes. Following this, his work began to garner immense fame, public
applause and critical acclaim, and he was firmly established as a commercially
successful and prolific artist. His talent and unique skill won him much favor with the
King of Spain, who was an influential patron and art enthusiast. Juan became a regular
contributor to the Exposición Nacional de Bellas Artes, where he won the gold medal in
1884, for his huge and captivating ‘Spolarium’, and in 1887, he contributed his ‘Battle at
Lepanto’.
Juan Luna is widely considered as the finest and most influential painter of Philippines,
who works are showcased in some of the most prestigious museums of his native
country, including the National Museum and the Lopez Museum. Some of his most
iconic and famous works include, ‘Mestiza Lady at her Dresser’, ‘Tampuhan’, ‘Roman
Ladies’, and ‘The Happy Beauty and the Blind Slave’ among many others.
Despite his commercial success and great talent, Juan’s life is overshadowed by the
dark controversies he became involved in because of his jealous disposition and
accusations at the loyalty of his wife, whom he accused of having an affair with
Monsieur Dussaq, a surgeon. On September 23, 1892, in a blinding rage of jealousy,
Juan murdered his wife, his mother-in-law, along with causing serious injuries to his
brother-in-law. Juan met his own death in 1899, at the age of 42.
The following are some of the most historically and culturally significant
masterpieces of Juan Luna y Novicio:
Spoliarium (1884)
Parisian Life (1892)
Blood Compact (1886)
The country had its first National Artist in Fernando C. Amorsolo. The official title
“Grand Old Man of Philippine Art” was bestowed on Amorsolo when the Manila Hilton
inaugurated its art center on January 23, 1969, with an exhibit of a selection of his
works. Returning from his studies abroad in the 1920s, Amorsolo developed the
backlighting technique that became his trademark were figures, a cluster of leaves, a
spill of hair, the swell of breast, are seen aglow on canvas. This light, Nick Joaquin
opines, is the rapture of a sensualist utterly in love with the earth, with the Philippine
sun, and is an accurate expression of Amorsolo’s own exuberance. His citation
underscores all his years of creative activity which have “defined and perpetuated a
distinct element of the nation’s artistic and cultural heritage”.
The following are some of the most historically and culturally significant
masterpieces of Fernando Amorsolo y Cueto:
The Making of the Philippine Flag
Antipolo (1947)
