Lots 1223 to 1225
Paintings from the Lea Family Collection

Lea 氏家族收藏 編號1223-1225

The earliest family connections to the Philippines date to 1910 when R. Eroles moved his photography studio from Barcelona to Manila,
where it remained until the 1930s. His daughter Esperanza Lea (nee Eroles) and her husband were residents of Manila, and purchased Baguio
Rice Fields and Lots 1224 and 1225 from the artist between 1944 and 1948. The painting of the Baguio Rice Fields was commissioned by
the Lea family and depicts the view from the family’s summer home in the mountains of Baguio. The image below is a copy of the original
photo that was given to Amorsolo for the commission. The family relocated to California in 1949, where the paintings have remained.

Lea 氏家族和菲律賓的淵源始於1910年。那時 R.Eroles 將其攝影棚從巴塞隆納遷至馬尼拉至1930年代為止。其女 Esperanza Lee（nee
Eroles）和她夫婿均為馬尼拉居民，並於1944年和1948年間，從費南度．阿莫索羅購得〈碧瑤稻田〉以及拍品1224和1225。其中，
〈碧瑤稻田〉為 Lea 氏家族特別委託藝術家所作，描繪了該家族坐落於碧瑤山間之避暑家園的美景。下方圖為當時提供給藝術家創作之翻
拍照片；隨後於1949年，Lea 氏家族移居至美國加州，一直珍藏這三件作品。
