Sigue el ciclo #FormatArte sobre la pregunta: ¿Por qué los cuadros tienen la forma que tienen y miden lo que miden?

Caravaggio pintó este #tondo en 1597, un óleo sobre lienzo que se pegó a una tabla de álamo redonda, convexa: un escudo decorativo. Lo podéis ver en los #Uffizi, #Florencia.

#TodayinHistory in 1875, the 1st ordained Filipino #Protestant pastor, & founder of the 1st indigenous Protestant church in #PH (@IEMELIF), Nicolás Zamora, was born in #Binondo #Manila #PH. His father was nephew to Fr. Jacinto Zamora (1 of the #GOMBURZA). THREAD. #PH #history Image
The unjust execution of the #GOMBURZA in 1872 opened the eyes of Filipinos to the rampant abuse & corruption of the Spanish colonial regime against Filipinos. Fr. Jacinto Zamora, the youngest of the 3, lost his mind prior to being executed.
Jacinto's nephew, Paulino, harbored resentment vs. the oppression. Discontented w/ the religion of the friars, he began to smuggle Spanish Bibles w/c were forbidden at the time. During #PH Revolution in 1896, he was arrested & exiled to Chafarinas Islands in the Mediterranean.
