Chiayi in Painting

"Pygmy Water-Lily", year unknown
This artwork differs from the other works centered around the theme of Chiayi Park. This painting on a wooden board depicts the lily leaves in the small pond, the ripples on the water, and the pile of rocks in the center of the pond. Under the water, a group of yellow-brown fish appear to be getting ready to swim away. At the beginning of the 20th century, the French artist Monet's skillful works depicting lilies had already become internationally renowned. Tan Ting-pho certainly had also come across his works during his studies overseas. When he carefully portrayed the play of light and shadows on the water, perhaps he also remembered the masterful techniques of Monet in his depiction of ponds.
