As what I observe in the painting of Juan Luna entitled “Tampuhan” I can say that it is a genre type of subject. A genre painting describes a scenes or events from everyday life and family relationships. The painting was created in year 1895 that shows two Filipino lovers in the living room of the house that was in the argument or misunderstanding.
The painting didn’t only represent a two lover that are in a mood of “tampo” because the painting also shows what kind of life they have during that time. And according to an artist named Emilio Aguilar Cruz, the subject of the painting is not just a lover’s quarrel because it also shows a special occasions or fiesta where there is a procession outside and the red cloth on the window of their neighbor is a sign of having an event.
