    Artwork: The Martyrdom of Rizal Mural

    Who:
    Carlos “Botong” V. Francisco. Born on November 4, 1912, in
    Angono. He became one of the Philippine National Artists for
    Visual Arts.
    When: 1973
    Where: National Museum
    How:
    Francisco is best recognized for his monumental and gigantic paintings reflecting
    historical events in the Philippines. He is usually recognized as he reshaped the
    Philippines' fine arts method. He split away from the usual and typical form and
    started the modernist movement. This is when he painted the Martyrdom of Rizal
    Mural.

    Why:
    Rizal's death was a historic event in our country since it stirred nationalism and
    the beginning of some form of social change or restoration in our society as a
    whole. It triggers the people to step up from being silent and start to fight for the
    country. The painting shows the assassination of Philippine national hero Dr.
    Jose Rizal on December 30, 1896, at Bagong Bayan (now Rizal Park).
