On October 23, 1857, Juan Luna, one of the first internationally-recognized Filipino painters, was born from well-off parents in Badoc, Ilocos Norte.
Don Lorenzo Guerrero, the first painting tutor of Juan Luna, easily recognized the young man's natural talent and persuaded his parents to send him to Spain for advanced painting lessons.
Luna left for Barcelona in 1877, together with his elder brother Manuel, who was a violinist. While there, Luna widened his knowledge of the art and he was exposed to the immortal works of the Renaissance masters. One of his private teachers, Alejo Vera, a famous contemporary painter in Spain, took Luna to Rome to undertake certain commissions.
