圖說：秋本好春，《大正公園》，第六回臺灣美術展覽會圖錄
Caption: Yakimoto Yoshiharu, Taisho Park, from the catalogue of the 6th Taiten.

此作為秋本好春（生卒年不詳）入選1932年第六回臺展西洋畫。以平視構圖描繪臺南大正公園（今湯德章紀念公園）之風采，作品整體呈現輕快、厚重之筆觸，藉由道路將觀者視線聚焦於兒玉源太郎（1852-1906）石像，成為畫面核心；另有樹林及路燈增添景深，路燈圖像的引入對於構圖增添了挑戰及趣味，同時也反映了日治時期臺南地區的現代化設施，大正公園做為都市改正計畫的核心，以放射狀形式連接對外道路及臺南州廳、州會等重要機構，具殖民者視線之統治象徵性。（彭暐宸）

This painting by Yakimoto Yoshiharu (years of birth and death unknown) was selected into the Yoga (Western-style painting) Division of the 6th Taiten (Taiwan Art Exhibition). The artist delineated the scenery of Tainan’s Taisho Park (now Tang Te-chang Memorial Park) at eye level. The work comprises brisk, solid brushstrokes, and guides the spectator’s sight line with the pathway to focus on the statue of Kodama Gentaro (兒玉源太郎; 1852-1906), which forms the center of the image. Furthermore, the artist adds the trees and street lamp to increase the depth. The addition of the street lamp creates both a challenge and fun to the composition, and shows the modernized facility in the Tainan area during the period of Japanese rule. Taisho Park, as the center of the city improvement plan, is connected to external roads, the Tainan Prefectural Government building, and the Tainan Prefectural Council in a radiating manner, which symbolizes the colonizer’s dominating line of sight.
