It dates from 890–710 B.C and the two prominent figures at the top handle of its cover represent the journey of the soul to the afterlife. 

The Manunggul Jar is widely acknowledged to be one of the finest Philippine pre-colonial artworks ever produced and is considered a masterpiece of Philippine ceramics. ]]> 2022-09-30 03:11:57 UTC https://padlet.com/mcruz6854val/c7mpmpaoa8lhpa4j/wish/2320418615 Pre-Conquest Period mcruz6854val https://padlet.com/mcruz6854val/c7mpmpaoa8lhpa4j/wish/2320423021 This standing male figure representing a rice deity (bulul) from the Ifugao people of northern Luzon Island in the Philippines is an outstanding and highly important expression of the foremost tradition of anthropomorphic sculpture in the northern Philippines. Sculpted with exceptional elegance and sensitivity for its genre, it is among the finest expressions of its type. While bulul figures are fairly common, the great majority are of more recent date and are more roughly carved than this work.]]> 2022-09-30 03:16:30 UTC https://padlet.com/mcruz6854val/c7mpmpaoa8lhpa4j/wish/2320423021 Spanish Period mcruz6854val https://padlet.com/mcruz6854val/c7mpmpaoa8lhpa4j/wish/2320436634 The Spoliarium (often misspelled Spolarium) is a painting by Filipino painter Juan Luna. Luna, working on canvas, spent eight months completing the painting which depicts dying gladiators. The painting was submitted by Luna to the Exposición Nacional de Bellas Artes in 1884 in Madrid, where it garnered the first gold medal (out of three). The picture recreates a despoiling scene in a Roman circus where dead gladiators are stripped of weapons and garments. Together with other works of the Spanish Academy, the Spoliarium was on exhibit in Rome in April 1884.]]> 2022-09-30 03:30:05 UTC https://padlet.com/mcruz6854val/c7mpmpaoa8lhpa4j/wish/2320436634 Spanish Period mcruz6854val https://padlet.com/mcruz6854val/c7mpmpaoa8lhpa4j/wish/2320441738 Carlos Francisco’s The First Mass at Limasawa is one of his finest artworks. This piece was commissioned by the national government to commemorate the 400 years of Philippine Christianization which was held in Cebu in 1965. 

As seen, the painting portrays the first mass which was celebrated in Limasawa Island on the day of Easter. It is believed in the painting that whatever is the person’s nationality, as long as that person was there to attend the mass, that person is welcomed and fully accepted. ]]> 2022-09-30 03:35:53 UTC https://padlet.com/mcruz6854val/c7mpmpaoa8lhpa4j/wish/2320441738 American Period mcruz6854val https://padlet.com/mcruz6854val/c7mpmpaoa8lhpa4j/wish/2320452938 It is believed that Fernando Amorsolo made this painting to show the citizen of the Philippines of how the Philippine flag was made and to remind them the traditions and customs that we did not realize it becomes faded.]]> 2022-09-30 03:49:59 UTC https://padlet.com/mcruz6854val/c7mpmpaoa8lhpa4j/wish/2320452938 American Period mcruz6854val https://padlet.com/mcruz6854val/c7mpmpaoa8lhpa4j/wish/2320457208 Amorsolo's bright and colorful pastoral representations are unmistakable for being suffused with a golden glow, reflecting the sweet disposition, charm, and wholesome beauty of the dalagang bukid, or Philippine provincial lass - widely recognized to be the maestros most iconic subject matter. Surrounded by verdant foliage dappled with sunlight, she is the picture of a longed-for, bygone era - the epitome of everything that is good about the motherland.
The banga or clay jar that the young lady carries, a vessel for carrying water, is seen as a symbol of fragility and innocence, and is a reference to the song made famous by National Artist Atang de la Rama in the 1919 sarswela

It made me appreciate Filipino arts because of how talented we are. We Filipino's should be proud of these artists and I suggest that we appreciate it more because it's part of our history. Some of the paintings shown in the timeline are hardships that we Filipino's face during these time periods. This just shows how far we've come as a nation and how we eventually achieve that freedom that we've been wanting for a long time. No matter what time it is, these paintings are immortalized to our minds and we should appreciate these arts because it's part of our history.
