Wutaishan Foguang Temple East Hall: Vaisravana Subduing Evil - Warriors

佛光寺降魔鎮妖圖

中國

位於東大殿佛座背面束腰處,描繪毗沙門天王與力士降魔鎮妖。畫面中毗沙門天王頭戴寶冠,濃眉上揚,目透綠光,肌肉隆起,身披甲冑,獸頭護肚,衣帶飄舉。天王右手持劍,劍鋒上指,降伏二魔,壓制足下,左手用力按住其中一魔頭頂,顯得剛毅威猛。毗沙門天王信仰在盛唐(712~756)至晚唐(846~907)時期頗為流行,此像正體現了當時的信仰狀況。
 天王右側立一天女,雙髻高豎,臉龐圓潤,身著廣袖長衫,腰繫帶,雙手分別托香盂和天花,側首向天王,面露驚恐。天女右側有二力士,前者雙目圓瞪,著豹皮長衫,腰束帶,手拉猴妖,躬身降伏;後者袒上身,全身肌肉凸起,下身著豹皮短褲,手握長杵,目視前方,呈追趕狀,身後還有一被擊斃的妖卒。
 此鋪壁畫筆法簡練,設色素雅,墨線勁利清晰,形象生動傳神。由於位置隱蔽,光線幽暗,因此能夠保持唐代(618~907)原貌而歷久如新,從中猶可見唐代畫家吳道子筆下天王力士「毛根出肉」、「力健有餘」的繪畫風範。
