尉遲乙僧

新疆和田 繪畫 僧人

生卒年不詳。唐代(618~907)畫僧。于闐國(今新疆和田)人。尉遲為姓,乙僧係相對於其兄甲僧而言;相對其父尉遲跋質那「大尉遲」之稱,乙僧則稱「小尉遲」。貞觀(627~649)初于闐王因其畫藝奇妙,推薦至長安(今陝西西安),太宗(626~649在位)授宿衛官,封郡公。神龍二年(706)出家,改居所為奉恩寺。
 擅繪佛像、鬼神、人物及花鳥,於長安、洛陽(今河南洛陽)等寺院,繪製大量壁畫。其畫中所呈現皆是西域各民族形象,並將西域各民族的舞蹈,化作西方極樂世界的樂舞場景。善於用暈染來表現立體感,世稱凹凸法,為西域畫派之代表。
 《歷代名畫記》記載其壁畫作品,有長安大慈恩寺塔下南門及西壁千鉢文殊、光宅寺東菩薩院降魔變、興唐寺壁畫、安國寺東廊大法師院塔內壁畫、奉恩寺壁畫;洛陽大雲寺門東兩壁鬼神、佛殿的菩薩六尊和淨土變相、經閣的婆藪仙等。另有彌勒佛像、佛鋪圖、佛從像、外國佛從圖、唐大悲像、明王像及外國人物圖等,著錄於《宣和畫譜》。傳世作品天王像,相傳是其手筆,現藏美國華盛頓弗利爾美術館。
