Mount Unzen Viewed from Amakusa 天草より見たる雲仙あまくさよりみたるうんぜん

Description

巴水は、大正11年（1922）に行った九州旅行の成果を、「日本風景選集」として出版し、《天草より見たる温泉ケ嶽》（大正11年）という作品を発表した。この天草の風景は、巴水の心に印象深く残ったのだろう。本作は15年後の昭和12年（1937）に、その作品をもとに、雲仙の眺望をよりクローズアップして再制作したものである。荷を背にした馬と馬子が、交互に編み込まれた網代文様のように美しい畑のあぜ道を歩く。遠景には島原半島の雲仙岳が悠然と聳えている。前面に広がる海には、白い帆を張った1隻の船が行き過ぎる。この海は、島原湾（有明海）の入口に位置する早崎瀬戸と呼ばれる海峡で、湾に出入する船の通り道となっている。陸の道をゆく馬と馬子、海の道をゆく帆かけ舟が、画面の中でシンクロしているようで面白い。
