Life of the Buddha - Great Departure

Ink and color on paper

踰城出家圖

緬甸

緬甸貢榜王朝(Konbaung,1752~1885)作品,出自四十二摺頁的摺疊式繪本,每頁高48公分,寬19公分,乃根據一七九八年沙雅道(Dutiya Medi Hsayadaw)編撰散文體作品《佛陀生平》而作。
 此圖採一圖多景布局,描繪悉達多太子半夜離開王宮,前往雪山修行。因其豐富的描金,鮮明色彩及建築描繪,堪稱宮廷藝術代表作。
 圖左邊為寢宮,悉達多太子告別沉睡中的王妃耶輸陀羅和愛子羅●(目+侯)羅,宮殿前有一群酣睡的宮女;右下車匿牽馬候於宮外;右上為太子騎上愛馬犍陟,四天王托著馬蹄飛越城牆,而車匿則抓著馬尾,表現出不捨太子離開的場面。圖下方書有緬文。
 全圖構圖簡潔、精細輝煌,以紅、藍、綠為主色調,建築、衣飾、擺設等細節描金,場景分明,使人一目了然。
 貢榜王朝的歷代國王均篤信佛教,遺有為數眾多的佛教藝術作品,期間國王曾經派遣僧人前往錫蘭,對兩國之間的佛教傳承影響頗大。
