EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking panoramic view of Manila, the capital city of the Philippines, is an anonymous oil on wood painting from the Second Quarter of the 17th century. The painting is currently housed in the esteemed Museo Jose Luis Bello y Gonzalez in Mexico, showcasing the rich cultural connections between Latin America and the Philippines. Manila, founded in 1571, was a thriving city during the Spanish colonial period. The painting captures the bustling activity of the city's waterfront, with ships from various nations anchored in the bay. The vibrant colors of the Spanish colonial architecture are on full display, with the walls of Intramuros, the old city, forming a protective barrier against the sea. The painting also reveals the diverse population of Manila, with people of different ethnicities and cultures living and interacting in the city. The Chinese junks in the foreground suggest the significant role of Chinese traders in the city's economy. This painting is a testament to the rich history and cultural exchange that took place between the Philippines and Latin America during the colonial period. It offers a glimpse into the past, providing valuable insights into the lives of people who lived in Manila during that time. The painting's preservation in the Museo Jose Luis Bello y Gonzalez ensures that future generations can continue to learn from and appreciate this important piece of art and history.
