Back when I was still a child, I had already heard the name "Fernando Amorsolo" several times from my parents. Whenever I asked about who he is, my parents would show me an example of his paintings. When I see Fernando Amorsolo's works, I would always see the people in his paintings as Filipinos and the setting and context as being in the Philippines.  "Planting Rice" by Fernando Amorsolo The rich agriculture of the Philippines is truly captured in his artworks, since a lot of them showcase farms and agricultural landscapes. Fernando Amorsolo's artworks are able to express the moral nature and spirit of Filipinos, because they were portrayals of traditional Filipino customs, culture, fie
