Chen Cheng-po (陳澄波, Tân Têng-pho) would've turned 130 years old this year. The "Rediscovering Taiwan" exhibit at the National Taiwan Museum's Railway Department Park (also known as Railway Ministry Park) explores the natural and humanistic #landscapes of the island nation via Chen's past travels.
To remember the talented #artist and well-respected member of Chiayi society, who was mercilessly gunned down by KMT forces as part of a peace negotiation group in the chaotic wake of the 228 Massacre of 1947, eight of his #paintings were chosen for display.
His paintings are accompanied by botanical samples, taxidermied birds and animals, cultural artifacts, and historic photographs that showcase the unique biodiversity and environs of #Taiwan.
The ticketed #Taipei exhibition runs through May 11, 2025. https://event.culture.tw/mocweb/reg/NTM/Detail.init.ctr?actId=40279
Chen Cheng-po's 1930 work "East #Taiwan Coastal Road (東台灣臨海道路)" — a painting that was only re-discovered in #Japan and authenticated in 2015. The late Governor-General of Taiwan Kamiyama Mitsunoshin had it framed using Formosan #Indigenous Tao motifs.

"Accumulated Snow on Jade Mountain (玉山積雪)" is the last painting completed by Chen Cheng-po before his untimely death in 1947.
Along with Chen's personal effects and #art, this #painting was secretly stored away by his widow Chen Chieh for over three decades before its existence was made public.
