In which century did Realism develop in Manila?
1 Answer

Realism developed in Manila during the late 20th century. Filipino artists working in the 1970s and ’80s began producing works with elements of Social Realism to comment on the social and economic conditions that resulted from the martial rule of the Marcos regime. One of the leading figures of the movement was Nestor Garcia Leynes, Sr, a painter who brought awareness to the plight of rural Filipinos through his works depicting mothers and children.

The Pursuit, Roe Deer and Hound in a Winter Landscape, 19th Century
Located in Genève, GE
The painting is unsigned on the front. An old handwritten inscription on the upper stretcher identifies the artist as Steinbach and appears to include the words “in München” (Munich). The artist’s precise identity remains to be established, and the work is therefore catalogued conservatively under the name Steinbach.
This atmospheric 19th-century painting depicts two roe deer fleeing across a wintry landscape, closely followed by a hound. The movement of the animals brings a vivid narrative quality to the scene: a young buck, recognizable by his small antlers, turns alertly as he runs beside a second deer, while the pursuing dog emerges from the snowy terrain behind them.
The artist combines careful observation of wildlife with a sensitive treatment of the surrounding landscape. Snow lightly covers the uneven ground and branches of the tall fir trees, while the distant woodland gradually dissolves into the misty horizon. Above, a softly illuminated sky in subtle shades of grey, pale gold and rose creates a striking contrast with the darker forest.
Characteristic of 19th-century Romantic and Naturalist animal painting, the work combines dramatic movement with an evocative vision of nature. The restrained winter palette, atmospheric depth and animated wildlife give the composition both decorative appeal and a compelling sense of narrative.
