    Introduction

    The National Museum, in pursuance of its mandate of preserving


    and protecting National Cultural Treasures and important cultural
    properties of the nation, maintains a reference collection on the
    visual arts through the Arts Division. This entire art collection
    constitutes a large portion of the artistic patrimony of the nation and
    one of our legacies to the coming generations. Now totaling 1,032,
    the collection is composed of easel paintings, sculptures, icons,
    sketches and mixed media, and span the 18th century to the late
    21st century. All are inventoried, accounted for and certified by the
    Commission on Audit. However, there are artworks in the collection
    that are still undergoing accession proceedings. The Division
    undertakes and supervises the periodic inspection and
    maintenance under the supervision of an art conservator. The
    visual art collection of the National Museum serves as a perpetual
    chronicle of the development of Philippine art and a showcase of
    the achievements and aspirations of Filipino visual artists. One can
    also refer to the collection for topics ranging from Philippine history
    and natural landscapes to social concerns and personal
    expressions. The 15 artworks featured in this handbook were
    chosen as a representative sample of the best artworks created by
    unknown artists of the 18th century, 19th century masters, national
    artists for the visual arts as well as the leading contemporary
    painters and sculptors. The uniqueness of the style, the prestige of
    the artist, and the significance of the artwork in the development of
    Philippine art are the primary criteria in the selection.
