    Juan Luna de San Pedro y Novicio

    Ancheta (Spanish: [ˈxwan ˈluna], Tagalog: [hwɐn
    ˈluna]; October 23, 1857 – December 7, 1899)
    was a Filipino painter, sculptor and a
    political activist of the Philippine
    Revolution during the late 19th century. He
    became one of the first recognized Philippine
    artists.
    His winning the gold medal in the 1884 Madrid
    Exposition of Fine Arts, along with the silver win
    of fellow Filipino painter Félix Resurrección
    Hidalgo, prompted a celebration which was a
    major highlight in the memoirs of members of
    the Propaganda Movement, with the
    fellow Ilustrados toasting to the two painters' good health and to the brotherhood between Spain and
    the Philippines.
    Well regarded for work done in the manner of European academies of his time, Luna painted literary
    and historical scenes, some with an underscore of political commentary. His allegorical works were
    inspired with classical balance, and often showed figures in theatrical poses.
