南禪寺大殿造像

中國

位於山西省忻州市五台縣南禪寺大殿。南禪寺大殿是中國已知現存最早的木構建築物之一,據平梁下的墨書題記係唐建中三年(782)重建。元至正三年(1343)修補塑像,人物面部經多次重新彩繪,個別塑像的局部經過重妝,現存細部多有殘缺,但基本保持唐代(618~907)原貌。唐武宗(840~846在位)會昌法難,佛寺和寺內塑像大都被毀,該寺因地處偏僻,故幸免於難。
 大殿坐北朝南,殿內佛壇呈倒「凹」形,上置彩塑十七身,形制與布局均見唐制。壇中間塑釋迦牟尼佛,左右有二弟子、二脇侍菩薩及普賢菩薩乘白象、文殊菩薩乘青獅,象旁塑象奴牽象,獅旁塑獅奴手牽獅繩,另有二童子立像。普賢、文殊外側各塑一脇侍菩薩、一天王立像,佛前為二供養菩薩半跪。群像中以主尊釋迦牟尼佛及二供養菩薩最精妙。造像在組合布局上雖高低錯落,形態各異,但相互呼應,構成有變化的整體。
 造像端嚴柔麗,自然傳神,受晚唐(846~907)風格影響。佛、弟子和菩薩或坐或立或蹲跪於蓮花台座上,天王、童子、獅奴、象奴和獅、象腳踏磚壇地面,布局主次分明。
