Abstract
This paper delves into the selected masterpieces of Fernando Amorsolo, the inaugural national artist for visual arts in the Philippines. Employing a combination of critical discourse analysis and narrative analysis, it extracts profound meanings from his artworks. Additionally, it sheds light on Amorsolo’s visual critique of war and peace within the context of the Second World War. The corpus of this study is drawn from Amorsolo’s works housed in the National Museum of the Philippines.
