Fernando Amorsolo was born on May 30, 1892, in Paco, Manila.[5][6] His parents were Pedro Amorsolo and Bonifacia Cueto.[7] His father quickly found work in Daet, Camarines Norte months after Fernando's birth, and the family lived there until his father died when Amorsolo was 11. While he studied in a public school in Daet, his parents taught him to read and write Spanish at home.
After his father's death, the family moved back to Manila, where they stayed with one of his uncles, Don Fabián de la Rosa, his mother's cousin, who was also a Filipino painter. At the age of 13, Amorsolo became an apprentice to De la Rosa, who would eventually become the advocate and guide to Amorsolo's painting career. During this time, Amorsolo's mother did embroidery to earn money, while Amorsolo helped by selling water color postcards to a local bookstore for 10 centavos each.[7] His younger brother, Pablo Amorsolo, also became a painter.
Amorsolo's first success as a young painter came in 1908, when his painting Leyendo el periódico took second place at the Bazar Escolta, a contest organized by the Asociacion Internacional de Artistas. Between 1909 and 1914, he enrolled at the Art School of the Liceo de Manila.[7] His most notable work as a student at the Liceo was his painting of a young man and a young woman in a garden, which won him the first prize in the art school exhibition during his graduation year.
After graduating from the Liceo, he entered the University of the Philippines' School of Fine Arts, where De la Rosa taught at that time. During college, Fernando Amorsolo's primary influences were the Spanish people court painter Diego Velázquez, John Singer Sargent, Anders Zorn, Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, but mostly his contemporary Spanish masters Joaquín Sorolla Bastida and Ignacio Zuloaga. To make money during school, Amorsolo joined competitions and did illustrations for various Philippine publications, including Severino Reyes’ first novel in Tagalog language, Parusa ng Diyos ("Punishment of God"), Iñigo Ed. Regalado's Madaling Araw ("Dawn"), as well as illustrations for editions of the Pasyon. Amorsolo graduated with medals from the University of the Philippines in 1914.[8]
Amorsolo is well known for his lit landscapes, which frequently depicted customs, culture, fiestas, and jobs from the traditional Filipino way of life. His pastoral works were crucial in the development of the Filipino national identity because they "provided an imagined feeling of nationhood in opposition to American colonial control." Amorsolo's works were affected by the outbreak of World War II in the Philippines. His 1945 piece In Defense of a Woman's Honor serves as a good example of how his works changed throughout the war. Following the war, Amorsolo returned to creating bucolic landscape paintings. In its composition, On the Way Home pays tribute to the laborers—both human and animal—who toil in the fertile harvest fields from dawn till night. The calm, pleasant color scheme of the picture creates a sense of comfort and nostalgia. The arduous work of labor is similarly attested to around harvest time. Diego Velasquez, a painter, had a significant impact on his manner of painting at this time. Family members frequently appeared in Fernando Amorsolo's drawings and paintings.
One of Fernando Amorsolo's most well-known paintings is the "Dalagang Bukid." Amorsolo attempted to convey Filipina beauty in the painting, or rather, in its subject, as opposed to the usual Maria Clara image typically associated with local ladies. Over the course of his career, Fernando Amorsolo created more than ten thousand paintings and sketches employing backlighting and natural illumination. His paintings of the dalagang Filipina, Filipino landscapes, portraits, and WWII battle scenes are among his best-known creations.
