Focus on La barca de Aqueronte and analyze the Historical background.
Hidalgo finished La barca de Aqueronte in 1887 when he was thirty-four years old.  Hidalgo made charcoal studies of Charon that are representative of the divine and nude Greco-Roman heroes molded in the Renaissance style. These studies can also be found in the Lopez Museum and Library collection. On the same year, José Rizal, key leader of the Propaganda Movement, published the novel Noli Me Tangere.
