EDITORS COMMENTS
This drawing by Fernando Brambila depicts a scenic view of the Manila River in the Philippines during the Malaspina Expedition of 1792. The scene is captured from the fortress, with the sun casting a warm, horizontal daylight over the exterior of the buildings and edifices lining the riverbank. The architectural masterpieces, a testament to the Spanish colonial influence, stand proudly against the clear blue sky. The Malaspina Expedition, led by Alejandro Malaspina and José Quadra y de la Grana, was a Spanish scientific exploration of the Americas that took place between 1789 and 1794. The expedition made several stops in the Philippines, where they documented various aspects of Filipino society and culture. The drawing showcases the bustling activity along the river, with boats and ships anchored nearby, and people going about their daily routines. The buildings, a mix of European and Filipino architectural styles, reflect the rich cultural exchange that took place during the colonial period. The drawing is a valuable historical record of the Philippines during the late 18th century, providing insights into the social and architectural landscape of the time. It is currently housed in the Americas Museum in Madrid, Spain, as part of the extensive collection of the Madrid Autonomous Community.
