Disciple of the White Robe Bodhisattva

Red-character square seal

白衣大士門下 沈鳳

中國

「白衣大士門下」當是直指觀音菩薩的門下。宋代(960~1279)以後,道教祀奉觀音大士,或稱白衣大士,為佛教兼道教之神。宋以前,觀世音菩薩為男性形象,《華嚴經》中形容為勇猛丈夫。
 此為六字朱文方章,章法的安排,將文字平均分布,共分三行,每行二字,是基本的平正排列法。對於印文的寫法,作者將作品一反篆字細朱文布局常態,所用的小篆線條刻意加粗使其厚實,搭配纖細邊線,突顯印文,望之耀眼。
 沈鳳年少時,曾跟隨彼時著名學者王澍學習書法,故擅長篆隸書體,且精通篆法,所以字體結構能疏密自適,線條圓潤。在刻工方面,刀法平穩,應是衝刀與切刀並用,沒有鮮明的特色,但整體線條流暢,全印簡潔。
 沈鳳字凡民,號凡翁、謙齋等。清代(1644~1911)篆刻家、畫家。江蘇江陰人。嗜古成癖,客居程從龍家時,遍觀所藏金石書畫,潛心臨摹,藝事大進。善繪山水,喜用乾筆。治印宗法秦漢,布局活潑多變,印風蒼勁渾穆。生平自謂篆刻第一,畫第二,書法第三。
