JOSE P. RIZAL POSTCARD BY BENCAB "Towards Bagumbayan"



BEN CABRERA / Towards Bagumbayan / Charcoal on paper / 1996 / 23" X 30"

Walking to his place of execution at the Luneta on the cool morning of December 30, 1896 Rizal was quoted as saying "What a beautiful morning! On mornings like this, I used to take walks here with my sweetheart. "Turning to the two Jesuits who accompanied him, he looked towards Intramuros and asked "Is that Ateneo? I spent many happy years there."
