One of the country’s major Filipino painters, Romulo Galicano is popular among collectors for painting various scenes in the country and abroad with rigor and defining his own trajectory as an artist. Galicano had an impressionistic period, noted by critics, in which the great Cebuano maestro artist Martino Abellana’s influence also predominated. His techniques continue to be refined as he travels abroad, and his sojourns in Europe, specifically, influenced his artistic preoccupations. These travels resulted in canvases being filled with images of gardens and abundance of flowers, reminiscent of old France and an impressionist style attributed to Claude Monet whose works he admired. This painting showcases his exceptional painterly skills as he captures the European atmosphere and the beauty of nature in light and color.
