涅槃圖

日本

依據《大般涅槃經》繪製。圖右下題記有「應德三年(1086)」紀年,又稱應德涅槃圖,為日本現存年代最早的涅槃圖。一九五一年指定為日本國寶。
 世尊北枕安臥於娑羅樹林間牀座上,面容祥和而入涅槃。諸大菩薩、弟子、帝釋梵天、金剛力士、在家信眾等環護圍繞,或以袖掩面哭泣,或滿臉悲慽。圖右上角的摩耶夫人驟聞世尊入滅,乘雲而來。右下方的金剛力士拄杖哀號,其旁的獅子亦回首低鳴,表情生動真切。娑羅樹因世尊入滅,開出白色花朵,以表哀思。畫面以山水遠景為背景,包含世尊在內共四十二尊像,為緊密的群像構圖。每尊會眾旁附有榜題,書其姓名。
 此圖色彩格調、群像處理皆相當傑出。世尊身軀繪以黃白色,袈裟飾細緻碎金紋樣。四周群像輪廓則以朱色或淡墨勾勒,諸尊的顏面、衣服、牀座側面多用白色,全畫以淡黃、淡青、薄綠、青綠等中間色為主,凸顯傳統色調,畫面明朗卻不失柔和,有別於鎌倉時代(1185~1333)鮮麗強烈的對比用色。該幅以細膩優雅的手法,表達佛涅槃的深遠意境,使平安時代(794~1185)末期的佛畫藝術達到最高峰,是日本佛畫的上乘之作。
