Inspiration of early art in the Philippines was the life and passion of Christ. This comes from the earliest examples of Philippine art that have been seen around the world. The life and passion of Christ was introduced to the Philippine islands in the 16th century. The early artists from the Philippines have a strong resemblance in style to the art of Spain around the same time period. This is because painting was introduced to them by the Spanish.
