Jorge Pineda, considered to be the leading illustrator of his time, was in the same league as Fernando Amorsolo — only less prolific, and with a distinctly different approach to his craft. Capturing everyday Philippine life on his canvases, with the exception of some historical scenes, Pineda’s works immortalize the memory of bucolic activities and cultural norms of the time, as if to serve as vignettes of the lost era. To date, Pineda’s timeless creations have become some of the most sought after works in the Philippine art scene.
