Rizal also tried his hand at painting and sculpture. His most famous sculptural work was " The Triumph of Science over Death ", a clay sculpture of a naked young woman with overflowing hair, standing on a skull while bearing a torch held high. The woman symbolized the ignorance of humankind during the Dark Ages, while the torch she bore symbolized the enlightenment science brings over the whole world. He sent the sculpture as a gift to his dear friend Ferdinand Blumentritt, together with another one named "The Triumph of Death over Life". The woman is shown trampling the skull, a symbol of death, to signify the victory the humankind achieved by conquering the bane of death through their scientific advancements.
Several historians report that Rizal retracted his anti-Catholic ideas through a document which stated: After analyzing six major documents of Rizal, Ricardo Pascual concluded that the retraction document, said to have been discovered in , was not in Rizal's handwriting. Senator Rafael Palma , a former President of the University of the Philippines and a prominent Mason , argued that a retraction is not in keeping with Rizal's character and mature beliefs. Otley Beyer and Dr. Del Rosario, both of UP. Historians also refer to 11 eyewitnesses when Rizal wrote his retraction, signed a Catholic prayer book, and recited Catholic prayers, and the multitude who saw him kiss the crucifix before his execution.
A great grand nephew of Rizal, Fr. Marciano Guzman , cites that Rizal's 4 confessions were certified by 5 eyewitnesses, 10 qualified witnesses, 7 newspapers, and 12 historians and writers including Aglipayan bishops, Masons and anti-clericals. Because of what he sees as the strength these direct evidence have in the light of the historical method , in contrast with merely circumstantial evidence , UP professor emeritus of history Nicolas Zafra called the retraction "a plain unadorned fact of history.
Balaguer, the visits of his mentors and friends from the Ateneo, and the grace of God due the numerous prayers of religious communities. Supporters see in the retraction Rizal's "moral courage Catholic or Mason, Rizal is still Rizal — the hero who courted death 'to prove to those who deny our patriotism that we know how to die for our duty and our beliefs'. It first appeared in print not in Manila but in Hong Kong in , when a copy of the poem and an accompanying photograph came to J. Braga who decided to publish it in a monthly journal he edited.
There was a delay when Braga, who greatly admired Rizal, wanted a good job of the photograph and sent it to be engraved in London, a process taking well over two months. Thus, when the Jesuit Balaguer's anonymous account of the retraction and the marriage to Josephine was appearing in Barcelona, no word of the poem's existence reached him in time to revise what he had written. Six years after his death, when the Philippine Organic Act of was being debated in the United States Congress, Representative Henry Cooper of Wisconsin rendered an English translation of Rizal's valedictory poem capped by the peroration, "Under what clime or what skies has tyranny claimed a nobler victim?
It created the Philippine legislature, appointed two Filipino delegates to the US Congress, extended the US Bill of Rights to Filipinos, and laid the foundation for an autonomous government. The colony was on its way to independence. This same poem which has inspired independence activists across the region and beyond was recited in its Indonesian translation by Rosihan Anwar by Indonesian soldiers of independence before going into battle.
Imus came under threat of recapture that the operation was moved, with Bracken, to Maragondon , the mountain redoubt in Cavite.

Polavieja faced condemnation by his countrymen after his return to Spain. While visiting Girona , in Catalonia , circulars were distributed among the crowd bearing Rizal's last verses, his portrait, and the charge that Polavieja was responsible for the loss of the Philippines to Spain. Attempts to debunk legends surrounding Rizal, and the tug of war between free thinker and Catholic, have kept his legacy controversial.
The confusion over Rizal's real stance on the Philippine Revolution leads to the sometimes bitter question of his ranking as the nation's premier hero. Jose Rizal was an ideal candidate, favourable to the American occupiers since he was dead, and non-violent, a favourable quality which, if emulated by Filipinos, would not threaten the American rule or change the status quo of the occupiers of Philippine islands.
Rizal did not advocate independence for Philippines either. Renato Constantino writes Rizal is a "United States-sponsored hero" who was promoted as the greatest Filipino hero during the American colonial period of the Philippines — after Aguinaldo lost the Philippine—American War. The United States promoted Rizal, who represented peaceful political advocacy in fact, repudiation of violent means in general instead of more radical figures whose ideas could inspire resistance against American rule.
On the other hand, numerous sources [84] quote that it was General Emilio Aguinaldo , and not the second Philippine Commission, who first recognized December 30 as "national day of mourning in memory of Rizal and other victims of Spanish tyranny. As per them, the first celebration of Rizal Day was held in Manila on December 30, , under the sponsorship of the Club Filipino. The veracity of both claims seems to be justified and hence difficult to ascertain. However, most historians agree that a majority of Filipinos were unaware of Rizal during his lifetime, [86] as he was a member of the richer elite classes he was born in an affluent family, had lived abroad for nearly as long as he had lived in the Philippines and wrote primarily in an elite language at that time, Tagalog and Cebuano were the languages of the masses about ideals as lofty as freedom the masses were more concerned about day to day issues like earning money and making a living, something which has not changed much today.
Teodoro Agoncillo opines that the Philippine national hero, unlike those of other countries, is not "the leader of its liberation forces". Constantino's analysis has been criticised for its polemicism and inaccuracies regarding Rizal. Others present him as a man of contradictions.
Miguel de Unamuno in "Rizal: He pivots between fear and hope, between faith and despair. His defenders insist this ambivalence is trounced when Simoun is struck down in the sequel's final chapters, reaffirming the author's resolute stance, Pure and spotless must the victim be if the sacrifice is to be acceptable. And when a people reaches that height God will provide a weapon, the idols will be shattered, tyranny will crumble like a house of cards and liberty will shine out like the first dawn.

Upon the outbreak of the Philippine Revolution in , Valenzuela surrendered to the Spanish authorities and testified in military court that Rizal had strongly condemned an armed struggle for independence when Valenzuela asked for his support. Rizal had even refused him entry to his house. Bonifacio, in turn, had openly denounced him as a coward for his refusal. But years later, Valenzuela testified that Rizal had been favorable to an uprising as long as the Filipinos were well-prepared, and well-supplied with arms.
Rizal had suggested that the Katipunan get wealthy and influential Filipino members of society on their side, or at least ensure they would stay neutral. Rizal had even suggested his friend Antonio Luna to lead the revolutionary forces since he had studied military science. Valenzuela said to historian Teodoro Agoncillo that he had lied to the Spanish military authorities about Rizal's true stance toward a revolution in an attempt to exculpate him. Before his execution, Rizal wrote a proclamation denouncing the revolution. But as noted by historian Floro Quibuyen, his final poem Mi ultimo adios contains a stanza which equates his coming execution and the rebels then dying in battle as fundamentally the same, as both are dying for their country.
Rizal was a contemporary of Gandhi , Tagore and Sun Yat Sen who also advocated liberty through peaceful means rather than by violent revolution. Coinciding with the appearance of those other leaders, Rizal from an early age had been enunciating in poems, tracts and plays, ideas all his own of modern nationhood as a practical possibility in Asia. In the Noli he stated that if European civilization had nothing better to offer, colonialism in Asia was doomed.
Though popularly mentioned, especially on blogs, there is no evidence to suggest that Gandhi or Nehru may have corresponded with Rizal, neither have they mentioned him in any of their memoirs or letters. But it was documented by Rizal's biographer, Austin Coates who interviewed Jawaharlal Nehru and Gandhi that Rizal was mentioned, specifically in Nehru's prison letters to his daughter Indira.
He was a proponent of achieving Philippine self-government peacefully through institutional reform rather than through violent revolution, and would only support "violent means" as a last resort. His image as the Tagalog Christ also intensified early reverence to him.
Rizal, through his reading of Morga and other western historians, knew of the genial image of Spain's early relations with his people. The English biographer, Austin Coates , and writer, Benedict Anderson , believe that Rizal gave the Philippine revolution a genuinely national character; and that Rizal's patriotism and his standing as one of Asia's first intellectuals have inspired others of the importance of a national identity to nation-building.

During his exile, Rizal also secretly sent several specimens of flying dragons to Europe. He believed that they were a new species.
