I’m coming very late to this discussion of Amorsolo, but I still wanted to congratulate you on a very interesting post. How amazing it must have been to be accepted at the Academia de San Fernando as a professor instead of a student! His paintings are beautiful. He was evidently prolific both professionally and personally!

You’re welcome!

Berms: I’ve added Legaspi to my list of recommended artists. Thank you!

Amorsolo’s pre-world war 2 paintings are vibrant and have a characteristic lightness to them when viewed. Thanks for painting a picture of a Filipino artist. ;)

Maybe you could also feature a Filipino National Artist by the name of Cesar Legaspi. He was a deuteranope;he was color-blind.

Forgot to say that Bach was also very prolific in his profession.

Very nice article.

Makes me think of Bach a little.
Bach fathered 20 children with 2 wives (although half died early on) and 4 of them became composers as well.

Yes, thank you for featuring a fellow Filipino. Amorsolo is one of the most recognized names in the Philippines and his artwork is much respected in the country.
