What’s In

Neoclassicism 1780-1840, the word neoclassic came from the Greek word neos
meaning “new” and Latin word classicus which is similar in the meaning to the English
phrase “first class.” The Western movement in decorative and visual arts was called
Neoclassicism. It also applies to literature, theater, music and architecture that were
influenced by the classical art and culture of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome.

Romanticism 1800’s-1810’s, was a movement in which the artist of Neoclassical

period sought to break new ground in the expression of emotion, both subtle and stormy.
It embraced a number of distinctive themes, such as a longing for history, supernatural
elements, social injustices, and nature.

 What Is It

Gothic Revival Architecture (Neogothic)

Gothic Revival, also referred to as Victorian Gothic or Neo-Gothic, is an

architectural movement that began in the 1740s in England. Indeed, heavily castellated
Neogothic buildings have been often referred to as “castles,” even though they never
served as a defensive structure. Among them was Strawberry Hills ( demolished and
restored), the most famous work of the decorative phase of the Gothic Revival.

Gothic Revival became widely used for churches and civic building throughout
the West, especially in Britain and the United States. Bricks and stones were both
commonly used.

Architects who used Neogothic Style:

1. Charles Barry – was the name behind Britain’s foremost Gothic Revival
monument, the Westminster Palace (a.k.a. the Houses of Parliament).

WESTMINSTER PALACE (LONDON)

NEO-CLASSICISM 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 architectures.
Some of the well-known contributing artist express their skills and ideas in their own
respective field of specialization.

Felix Resurrection Hidalgo y Padilla (1855-1913) – 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. The painting portrays two scantily clothed
Christian females slaves mocked by a group of boorish Roman male onlookers.

Juan Luna y Novicio (1857-1899) - was a painter and sculptor, who became one of the
first recognized Philippine artists. Also a political activist of the Philippine revolution
during the late 19th century. One of his famous artwork was the Spoliarium, a Latin word
referring to the basement of the colosseum wherein the fallen and dying gladiators were
dumped and devoid of their worldly possessions. The subject of Luna’s Spoliarium can
be interpreted as an allegory of Imperial Rome corresponding to Imperial Spain.

Fernando Cueto Amorsolo (1892-1972) – was a national artist in Painting. He was a

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

My Final Farewell

Farewell, dear Fatherland, clime of the sun caress'd Let the sun draw the vapors up to the sky,
Pearl of the Orient seas, our Eden lost!, And heavenward in purity bear my tardy protest
Gladly now I go to give thee this faded life's best, Let some kind soul o 'er my untimely fate sigh,
And were it brighter, fresher, or more blest And in the still evening a prayer be lifted on high
Still would I give it thee, nor count the cost. From thee, 0 my country, that in God I may rest.
On the field of battle, 'mid the frenzy of fight, Pray for all those that hapless have died,
Others have given their lives, without doubt or heed; For all who have suffered the unmeasur'd pain;
The place matters not-cypress or laurel or lily white, For our mothers that bitterly their woes have cried,
Scaffold or open plain, combat or martyrdom's plight, For widows and orphans, for captives by torture tried
T is ever the same, to serve our home and country's need. And then for thyself that redemption thou mayst gain
I die just when I see the dawn break, And when the dark night wraps the graveyard around
Through the gloom of night, to herald the day; With only the dead in their vigil to see
And if color is lacking my blood thou shalt take, Break not my repose or the mystery profound
Pour'd out at need for thy dear sake And perchance thou mayst hear a sad hymn resound
To dye with its crimson the waking ray. 'T is I, O my country, raising a song unto thee.
My dreams, when life first opened to me, And even my grave is remembered no more
My dreams, when the hopes of youth beat high, Unmark'd by never a cross nor a stone
Were to see thy lov'd face, O gem of the Orient sea Let the plow sweep through it, the spade turn it o'er
From gloom and grief, from care and sorrow free; That my ashes may carpet earthly floor,
No blush on thy brow, no tear in thine eye. Before into nothingness at last they are blown.
Dream of my life, my living and burning desire, Then will oblivion bring to me no care
All hail ! cries the soul that is now to take flight; As over thy vales and plains I sweep;
All hail ! And sweet it is for thee to expire ; Throbbing and cleansed in thy space and air
To die for thy sake, that thou mayst aspire; With color and light, with song and lament I fare,
And sleep in thy bosom eternity's long night. Ever repeating the faith that I keep.
If over my grave some day thou seest grow, My Fatherland ador'd, that sadness to my sorrow lends
In the grassy sod, a humble flower, Beloved Filipinas, hear now my last good-by!
Draw it to thy lips and kiss my soul so, I give thee all: parents and kindred and friends
While I may feel on my brow in the cold tomb below For I go where no slave before the oppressor bends,
The touch of thy tenderness, thy breath's warm power. Where faith can never kill, and God reigns e'er on high!
Let the moon beam over me soft and serene, Farewell to you all, from my soul torn away,
Let the dawn shed over me its radiant flashes, Friends of my childhood in the home dispossessed!
Let the wind with sad lament over me keen ; Give thanks that I rest from the wearisome day!
And if on my cross a bird should be seen, Farewell to thee, too, sweet friend that lightened my way; Beloved creatures all,
Let it trill there its hymn of peace to my ashes. farewell! In death there is rest!
