Tabo Monastery Central Hall: Life of the Buddha (detail)

塔波寺佛傳圖

印度

位於塔波寺(Tabo Gompa)大經堂西壁北側下層。此圖採用印度傳統藝術一圖多景手法,表現四則佛傳故事。其最大特點,是將這四個獨立的情節巧妙地融入同一背景。背景以褐牆紅瓦與許多大大小小、單一或重疊的方格,表現王宮殿宇巍峨、房舍林立的宏偉氣派。
 畫面左上描繪乘象入胎,摩耶夫人倚枕側坐,腦後綰大圓髻,大眼高鼻,目視前方。其前白象乘雲而至,雲中僅現後腿和尾巴,形象極為概略。夫人前後和下方圍繞侍女,布局起分隔場景作用;眾女皆睜眼並坐,異於同題材繪侍女沉睡的情境。此景下方摩耶夫人向淨飯王敘述夜間六牙白象從右脇入胎之異象。
 畫面右下人物均戴平頂布帽,頭巾覆於腦後,長袍寬大厚重,應為解夢的智者。上方場景摩耶夫人正向淨飯王提出造訪藍毗尼園的請求。王著長袖上衣,敞胸腹,繫腰布,履長筒靴,為該經堂壁畫顯要人物特有的穿著;其上繪一大華蓋,更顯其身分尊貴。
