I don't know about you but I am attracted to all things vintage, from furnishings and yes, even accessories too! Proof is my Lavender Chalcedony that I inherited from my paternal grandmother.

| Last Supper painting by Toribio Herrera |
Toribio
Herrera was born in Tondo and
graduated with a degree in Medicine from UST in 1912. He took a second course
to earn a Fine Arts degree from UP. Dr. Herrera never exhibited his works in
public, eschewing monetary rewards for his art. The first exhibition of his
works was held in 1972, four years after his death.
“Last Supper” showcases Herrera’s
ingenious use of anatomy and perspective, traits that undercut most of his
work. This oil on canvas piece is a perfect example of classic technique.
