Tampuhan (painting)

Tampuhan, meaning "sulking",[1] is an 1895 classic oil on canvas impressionist painting by Filipino painter and revolutionary activist Juan Luna.

Luna's Tampuhan is a depiction of two persons staying inside the sala or living room of a Bahay na Bato.

Trinidad is the ancestor of the owner of the painting, and is claimed by Orosa to be the same woman who posed for Luna's La Bulaqueña, another of his artworks that illustrate Filipino culture.

[2] In Filipino courtship, culture, values and psychology, tampuhan (from the Filipino-language root word tampo) or sulking is in essence a disagreement between a couple where they do not speak to each other.

[3] The setting is also significant to Philippine culture as the couples are depicted to live in a traditional colonial Filipino house known as bahay na bato, with its iconic interior and structure fit for the tropical climate, while the woman is wearing the traditional Maria Clara gown of Filipino women.
