The simultaneous historical\nexhibits Exposicion Historico-Americana and Exposicion\nHistorico-Europea were slated for 12 September\n1892 until 31 December 1892, to be held in the newly\nconstructed Palacio de Biblioteca y Museos Nacionales\n(National Library and Museums), one of the largest public\nlibraries in the world, and in the adjacent grounds and\nstructures of the Parque de Madrid (otherwise referred\nto as Parque de Retiro where the 1887 Exposicion was\nheld). Several scientific, artistic, and literary conferences\nwere scheduled within the term of the expositions,\nadding an intellectual and scholarly dimension to the\nworld exhibits.”\nThey continued, “Intended to commemorate the\n400th year of Christopher Columbus's discovery of continental\n\nAmerica, the 1892 Exposicion Historico-Americana was a\nsalute to the glory days of the Spanish empire.”\nThe Paterno family memoir elaborates, “With\nthe wider and more complex logistical scope of the twin\nAmerican and European exhibits, the organizers found\nthe ideal exhibit partner for the section on Filipinas in\nPedro. The Maguinoo was known for the exquisite\nFilipiniana displayed in his Calle Sauco apartment; had\npublished writings on the history of the archipelago and\nits people; was a contributing member of the Comisaria\nRegia of the 1887 Exposicion General de Filipinas; and\nwas accurately perceived to be more than willing to take\non responsibility for the entire exhibit, if need be.”\nIn fact, found in “Section S of the Catalogo\nGeneral de la Exposicion Historico- Americana de Madrid\n1892, Tomo Il, the foreword reads: Given the brevity\nof time the committee had to prepare for this show,\nand the risk of breakage in transit, the Excelentisimo\nDelegado Genera requested Señor Don Pedro Paterno,\ndistinguished Filipino writer, was requested if they could\nuse the latter's historical collection of objects from the\nPhilippine archipelago.”\nThe same catalogue describes under the\ncategory Sculpture, No. 85, “A wooden figure of a lady, in\nthe act of eating from a bowl with the aid of chopsticks.\nThis is another masterpiece from ‘inspired sculptor Jesus\nof Santa Cruz (Manila.)\nThe Paterno collections thus exhibited in 1887\nwould continue to provide illumination on all things\nPhilippine in subsequent expositions. (Lisa Guerrero Nakpil)\nAugusto Reyes Gonzalez III, describes “the\nsecond “tipo del pais” statuette “La Vendedora” as a\ndark and plump woman, head covered with a cream–\ncolored veil, neatly–combed hair peeking from it, dressed\nin a thin white–striped teal camisa and faded vermilion\nskirt with black flowers, left leg kneeling. The classical\nway her veil is draped and tucked under her arms harks\nback to the “santos” of the early 1800s. The statuette\nis armless like the Greek and Roman statues; probably\ndamaged by time. Actually, she looks like a character in\na “belen” or “creche” (Nativity) scene, perhaps even an\n“india” Virgin Mary.”","lot_group":"OBJET D' ARTS","lot_details_html":"
