filipinas

España y Filipinas (“Spain and the Philippines") is a series of oil on wood paintings by Filipino painter, Ilustrado, and revolutionary activist, Juan Luna. It is an allegorical depiction of two women together, one a representation of Spain and the other of the Philippines. The painting, also known as España Guiando a Filipinas ("Spain Leading the Philippines"), is regarded as one of the “enduring pieces of legacy” that the Filipinos inherited from Luna.Luna reportedly painted six versions of España y Filipinas, with the best-known version, painted in 1886, being a centerpiece art at the Luna Hall of the López Museum and Library. Another version, painted in 1884, is part of the collection of the National Gallery Singapore, while a third version, the largest of the series, was painted in 1888 and is part of the collection of the Museo del Prado in Madrid, with the piece being loaned on a long-term basis to the City Council of Cádiz.
