Which Blanco family member created these?

“This museum displays the incredibly life-like paintings of the most famous family of painters in the country. Headed by renowned artist Jose “Pitok” V. Blanco, all seven children employ their father’s painting style. Breaking away from the Botong Francisco tradition, the Blanco family paintings are very natural or closer to reality. It is also interesting to note that Pitok Blanco’s wife and children are often the subject of his works, whether they are fleeing an Angono fire, are in deep prayer, or as infant angels surrounding Christ. Paintings portraying rural life outdoors are more colorful, each done with painstaking detail.”

*After a visit to the Blanco Family Museum in Angono, Rizal, it was not this author’s intention to publish the beauty the author experienced there. Mostly the pictures were intended for a private blog, an experience that could be revisited later on. However, after hearing the tragedy that came along with the museum, the author had a sudden urge to share what he had seen & learned that day. It may have been an ordinary visit to ‘the museum” as others may put it but in a way the Blanco Family Museum had its own special mystery to share, not just with the artworks featured there but by the Blanco family themselves. As for the stolen Jose “Pitok” V. Blanco paintings themselves, wherever they may be & whomever has them, I hope they are being recognized for the work of art they truly are because the family who lost a father and a husband twice with the artist gone & his paintings stolen, they are being remembered and revered, the same goes for a nation who lost an artist as well & a heritage too.

*Captions with (”) mean that the information has been quoted from websites visited by the author as he tries to find out more about the artist, his family & their museum. The pictures are entirely that of the authors’.
