INA AT ANAK

Fernando Amorsolo is one of The Greatest Filipino Painters of all time. He has
done numerous paintings which has catched the fancy of many people. One of
his masterpieces is the painting "Ina at Anak". If we translate the title into
English, it means Mother and Child. This painting shows to us the love
between the mother and child. It shows to us the bond that exists between the
two. It is often said that nothing encompasses the love between a mother and
a child. From birth, the mother has paintakingly taken care of her child, giving
him food, shelter, and clothing.
Amorsolo’s rural paintings

Through these insightful and beautiful works, Amorsolo is placed in relation


to the concept of bayan (land), bayani (hero or esteemed gentleman), ani
(doubly referring to harvest as well as interpretation), and ordinary folk
Nanding. Revolving around the production of the staple crop, rice, the exhibit
uses the idyll to evaluate and re-evaluate the artist, his society, and his land,
then and now.
