李真

繪畫

一說李真,另一說即李嗣真。生卒年不詳。唐代(618~907)畫家。活動於德宗(779~805在位)時期。師法尹琳,擅長佛像、人物、肖像。據《寺塔記》記載,貞元年間(785~804)曾於長安(今陝西西安)招福寺庫院畫鬼子母像,與周昉的筆法相類,畫中的持鏡侍女像非常生動;資聖寺塔菩薩像亦為其所作。
 密宗祖師惠果法師創制多種曼荼羅,曾囑李真等繪製金剛界九會曼荼羅、金剛界八十一尊曼荼羅及胎藏界十二院曼荼羅等。此外,惠果法師於元和元年(806),授予日僧空海攜回的真言五祖像,亦出於李真之手,線條均勻流暢,富有力度感,設色淡雅適度,對於人物神態的表現尤為精到。
 此真言五祖像包括金剛智、善無畏、不空、一行、惠果,於日本又加繪龍猛、龍智二位祖師,成為真言七祖像,現為日本國寶,藏京都教王護國寺,是研究唐代人物肖像之珍貴史料,亦為日本肖像畫家師法之範本。
