19th-20th Century Philippine Treasures at Ayala Museum



Ayala Museum presents an ongoing exhibition of 19th-20th Century Philippine Treasures at the fourth floor galleries.

This exhibition features selections from the Museum's permanent collection, including long-term loans from the Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) and Rina Ortiz Collections and new acquisitions made possible by Ayala Corporation may be viewed until January 2006. On special preview are exceptional works by Juan Luna, Fernando Amorsolo, Justiniano Asuncion, 19th century religious sculptures, piña costumes and jewelry that includes necklaces, scapulario, tambourines, reliquario.

The show offers a rare opportunity to experience the 1889 Reclining Nude and Seated Lady in White paintings by Juan Luna; handcolored 19th century lithographs by Justiniano Asuncion presenting period ladies and gentlemen of Manila. Also on exhibit are the 1919 Nude and El Bibliofilo paintings by Fernando Amorsolo.

The 19th-20th Century Philippine Treasures illustrates the transition of the influences in Philippine art during the 300-year old reign of the Spanish conquistadors and the rise of the postcolonial, modern period in Philippine history. Through the paintings, religious icons, jewelry, and costumes, the viewers will get the chance to view the extensive yet distinct influences of these periods and how these were rendered unto the canvases, images, jewelry and costumes.

19th - 20th Philippine Century Art is open to the public from Tuesday to Friday (9 AM-6 PM), Saturday-Sunday (10 AM- 7 PM). Closed to the public every Monday.
