We remember National Artist Fernando Amorsolo today, his 126th birthday.
In this photo, he is shown completing several presidential portraits that can now be found among the art collection of the Philippine Embassy in Washington DC. His other paintings can be found among the art collections of the US Supreme Court, the Harry S. Truman Presidential Library & Museum, the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library, the US Naval Academy, and many other places.
