Biography: Isidro G. Ancheta (1882-1946) "Ancheta drew his subjects with firm lines, solidly defined shapes and a realistic but dark palette. He also painted seashore scenes of fishing boats at sea. He received an honorable mention at the Universal Exposition in St Louis, Missouri in 1904 for his A Victim of War. His Tienda del Barrio (Barrio Store) won second honorable mention in the Filipiniana Category of the National Art Competition sponsored by the University of Santo Tomas in 1941. Ancheta was a contemporary and friend of famed Philippine artist Fernando Amorsolo and painted similar rural scenes as Amorsolo. Ancheta, Amorsolo and their artist friends Irineo Miranda, Jose Pereira, Dominador Castaneda all went on sketching trips together to rural farmlands around Teresa, Montalban, and Marikina. Ancheta is included in the exhibition titled Confrontations at the Metropolitan Museum of Manila through February 2009.
