維摩演教圖 (傳)李公麟

中國

此圖無款,由於精細的白描畫法,長期以來傳為李公麟所作。卷後有明(1368~1644)初沈度所錄《般若波羅蜜多心經》以及董其昌、王●(左禾+右上尸下辛)登跋。美國大都會博物館所藏元代(1271~1368)王振鵬摹金代(1115~1234)馬雲卿「維摩不二圖」,在構圖以及白描畫法上與此圖完全一致,因此一般認為此圖應是王振鵬臨摹的馬雲卿所作「維摩不二圖」。但最近亦有學者認為王振鵬的畫作並非其真跡,故兩圖亦可能是同一底本的不同摹本。
 此卷典出《維摩詰經》,描繪示疾的維摩詰居士為前來問疾的文殊等諸菩薩、舍利弗等大弟子及諸天人說法。時有天女散花,然因菩薩已斷一切分別想,故天花不著諸菩薩,僅著於舍利弗等之身。
 此圖採對稱布局,以中間香爐為中心,左繪文殊菩薩,右為維摩詰。香爐兩側天女散出鮮花,舍利弗雙眉緊皺,正試圖抖落身上鮮花。構圖之基本模式與人物造型可追溯至唐代(618~907)石窟壁畫中所表現的維摩詰經變相。畫面用線細緻精到,確具李公麟白描之風;較之大都會藏王振鵬之作品,粗細有致,更富變化,時代可能較之稍早。
 在存世畫作中,採用白描手法、託名李公麟的維摩演教圖尚有數幅,大都為絹本,只描繪維摩詰形象,反映出此題材在宋(960~1279)以後依然盛行。
