    Art Gallery

    La Barca de Aqueronte” (1887)

    Artist: Felix Resurreccion Hidalgo

    Location: Gallery III, South Wing Galleries, Level 2 (House Floor)


    Also known as “The Boat of Charon,” this piece was
    inspired by Dante Alighieri’s Inferno which Felix Hidalgo
    read while he was in Italy. It’s a very graphic painting
    that shows how Charon mercilessly ushered
    condemned souls to the place of their eternal
    damnation.
    “Planting of the First Cross” (1965)

    Artist: Vicente S. Manansala


    Location: GSIS Northwest Hall (Gallery XXIII), North Wing
    Galleries, Level 3 (Senate Floor)
    Vicente Manansala vividly captured the
    birth of Christianity in the Philippines in
    this historical artwork. It features Filipinos
    in 1521 as they stand with curiosity and
    interest while Spanish soldiers erect the
    country’s first cross—the same one that
    still stands in Cebu. The piece combines
    the artist’s mastery of both traditional and
    modern painting techniques, as well as his
    unique style of “transparent cubism.”
    In this exhibition, we introduce unique works by artists from
    West and Central Africa, which were acquired by the museum
    following An Inside Story: African Art of Our Time, the
    exhibition held in 1995.
    In the small display room, we also present works by the
    sculptor Yasuda Haruhiko, who died in January 2018.
    African nations began to successively gain independence from
    around the 1960s, and despite confronting various difficulties,
    have undergone remarkable economic developments in
    recent years. When looking at the world of art, it is possible to
    observe the presence of numerous African artists who are
    engaged in actively producing works while each incorporating
    their complex and diverse historical / cultural backgrounds.
    Their works have come to attract attention in Europe and the
    United States since the early 1990s, with interests also rapidly
    increasing in Japan since the 2000s.
    The Cultural Center of the Philippines Complex, also
    known as the CCP Complex, is an 88-hectare (220-acre)
    reclaimed property owned by the Cultural Center of the
    Philippines (CCP) located along Roxas Boulevard in
    Metro Manila, Philippines. It is a mixed-use cultural and
    tourism hub overlooking Manila Bay in south-central
    Manila, most of which fall under the jurisdiction of the
    city of Pasay.
    It features several brutalist structures designed in the
    1960s and 1970s by Leandro Locsin, such as the
    Tanghalang Pambansa, the Philippine International
    Convention Center, and the Sofitel Philippine Plaza
    Manila. Other landmarks in the complex include the
    Coconut Palace, the Manila Film Center and Star City
    amusement park.
