圖說：三島利正，《安平風景》，第七回臺灣美術展覽會圖錄
Caption: Mishima Toshimasa, Scenery of Anping, from the catalogue of the 7th Taiten (Taiwan Art Exhibition).

此為三島利正（1911–？）入選1933年第七回臺展西洋畫部入選作品，1933年三島利正任教於臺南市寶公學校（今立人國小），描繪附近安平臺江內海一帶之景色，圖中遠景可見當時安平稅關長官舍遺址，右側為熱蘭遮城，城上方的安平燈塔；中景為一池塘，稱荷蘭塢，但已不復存在。畫面線條厚實表現物件輪廓，遠景中以濃密交錯的筆觸表現茂密的樹林，整體畫作雖無法從色彩觀察，但近似於日本外光派之作畫方式，流露生活愜意之情感。三島利正曾任臺南市寶工學校教師、新竹高女美術教員，返日後繼續擔任教職，並且出版許多藝術色彩、造形相關文章，如：《用器畫法與製圖法》介紹繪畫的技巧，對喜愛美術之相關之人受用良多。（彭暐宸）

This work by Mishima Toshimasa (1911-?) was selected into the Yoga (Western-style painting) Division of the 7th Taiten (Taiwan Art Exhibition) in 1933. Mishima was teaching at Takara Public School (寶公學校; now Li-Ren Elementary School [立人國小]) in Tainan in 1933. The painting depicts the scenery of the Taijiang Inland Sea near Anping. In the background is the historical site of the official dormitory of the commissioner of Anping Customs (安平稅關). On the right, one can see the Fort Zeelandia, and the Anping Lighthouse above the fort. In the middle ground is a pond, historically known as the Dutch Cove (荷蘭塢), which no longer exists today. The overall image is delineated with thick and solid lines to outline the subject, and densely crisscrossing brushstrokes are used to express the verdant woods in the background. Although it is impossible to observe the painting in color, the style is similar to the Japanese plein air painting, conveying the feelings of an agreeable life. Mishima taught at Takara Public School and was an art teacher at Shinchiku Prefectural Girls’ High School (now Hsinchu Girls’ Senior High School). After he returned to Japan, he continued his vocation as an educator, and published various articles related to art, color, and form. For instance, his Instrumental Drawing and Drawing Methods (用器畫法與製圖法) introduces skills and techniques of drawing, which has been rather beneficial to art enthusiasts. (Peng Wei-Chen)
