      Country Life ca. 1900 oil on canvas 27" x 40" (60 cm x 102 cm) EXHIBITED: Hotel Intercontinental, Peralta…A Retrospective, Makati, December 9, 1992 LITERATURE: “Cheer Prevails In Peralta’s Paintings.” The Sunday Tribune, September 28, 1941. “Peralta exhibit at Intercon.” The Manila Chronicle, November 27, 1992. Black-and-white photograph on page 14. In recognition of his artistic prowess and commitment to art education, the UP Board of Regents granted Peralta a European scholarship in 1931 for him to specialize in scenic and decorative mural painting. Peralta settled in Spain and studied under Salvador Alarma, the revered Catalan scenographic mentor and painter. Peralta would return to the Philippines shortly, reassuming his post as an assistant professor, which he would proudly bear until his death in 1940. The Sunday Tribune notes, "Native Philippine life, its quiet rusticity, its glorious hope in toil, fascinated the late artist." This affinity is epitomized in this rare, early work that captures Peralta's modernist instincts even at the initial phase of his career. Here, rural women are wrapping up their harvesting and winnowing duties. The composition possesses a noticeably dark, muted palette. The work is characterized by its plein-air quality encapsulated in the artist's penchant for the "great outdoors" and the accurate depiction of a sunset gradually transitioning to dusk. The painting exudes more of a dignified and humanizing atmosphere rather than a charming, idyllic picture of the countryside. Peralta's rejection of Filipino beauty standards embodied by conservative painting is discerned in the women's physiques: full-figured and sturdy. Their bearings and facial expressions show Peralta's refusal to kowtow to the romantic ideal of the Filipina; they are the dignified cultivators of sustenance and possess physical endurance amid their laborious toiling in the fields, evoking the old Filipino adage "stronger than a carabao," which becomes interesting due to Peralta's juxtaposition of the women with an actual carabao that looks seemingly wearied. Interestingly, this is Peralta's most refined, fascinating, and largest genre painting to enter the market. Country Life encapsulates Peralta in his prime, fostering the cause for the eventual transition to modernism, and painting his favorite subjects. (A.M.)

      Ramon Peralta(1877 - 1940) Portrait of José Gabaldon y Perez

      Est: ₱260,000 - ₱338,000

      Ramon Peralta (1877 - 1940) Portrait of José Gabaldon y Perez signed and dated 1908 (lower right) oil on canvas 59” x 32” (150 cm x 81 cm) P 260,000 Throughout his prolific career as an artist, Ramon Peralta painted a number of portraits, most of which depicted figures and clients of renown. This portrait of a dignified man is notable for a specific reason – it portrays José Gabaldon y Perez, a Spaniard from Tébar, Cuenca, who fathered the Filipino politician Isauro Gabaldon. Isauro, the richest man in Nueva Ecija and among the wealthiest in the Philippines at that time, rose from the governorship of the province to attaining the position of Philippine resident commissioner in the United States before becoming a Senator. Isauro became famous in later generations as the originator of the Gabaldon schoolhouses, a collective term for heritage schoolhouses built in the Philippines between 1907 and 1946 that follow standard plans designed by Architect William E. Parsons. Based on the year this portrait was painted, it appears to have been commissioned by Don Isauro in memory of his father, to which he had a striking resemblance.
