古格王國遺址佛傳圖

中國

位於白殿內殿西壁中部和東壁中部。約為十五世紀中葉作品。該殿系統地描繪釋迦牟尼佛一生的主要事蹟。
 佛傳壁畫從西壁中部為始,現存完好的有太子誕生、婚配賽藝、樹下觀耕、踰城出家;東壁中部依序有剃髮出家、六年苦行、降魔成道、龍王護佛、初轉法輪、調伏醉象、降伏外道、獼猴獻蜜、涅槃、荼毗、八王分舍利與建塔供養等。
 樹下觀耕圖以農夫鞭打二隻耕田的犛牛為主,生動地表現耕作的實況。獼猴獻蜜以一圖多景的連續畫面,呈現獼猴登樹採蜜,佛陀安坐樹下,接受獼猴捧鉢獻蜜,後獼猴失足落水而亡,卻因而超升天界;圖中三列比丘並坐,合掌禮敬佛塔,讚頌此一事蹟。
 涅槃及荼毗之構圖,饒富圖案式趣味,佛陀於娑羅雙樹間的錦牀上右脇而臥,足尖朝下頗為特殊,花環串成的華蓋上方表現佛陀與弟子皆置身火團中,呈現獨特的涅槃圖像;荼毗畫面繪須彌座上佛陀現半身像,火焰熾然,弟子、菩薩及護法神眾等,由下而上井然有序地分列於周圍,造型各具特色。八王分舍利圖中,每位國王以布巾托捧舍利,姿態生動,表現祥和的氣氛。
 畫家擅於描繪人物眾多而畫面統一的場景,色彩協調又極富變化。而壁畫所展現的僧團景況,應為古格僧人的真實寫照,對於了解當時的寺院活動,提供重要的參考史料。
