Life of the Buddha - Parinirvana

Ink and color on silk

涅槃圖 陸信忠

中國

描繪佛陀於拘尸那揭羅娑羅雙樹間進入涅槃的情景。圖右側有「慶元府車橋石板巷陸信忠筆」墨書落款,可知此圖為寧波佛畫匠師陸信忠所作。陸信忠生卒年不詳,然據慶元府(今浙江寧波)於南宋慶元元年(1195)始稱,元代(1271~1368)改稱慶元路,知其應是南宋(1127~1279)時人,其作品多數流往日本。現為日本重要文化財。
 圖中娑羅雙樹下,佛陀右脇臥於寶台上,圍繞在佛陀四周的舉哀弟子,神情各異,或憂,或悲,或泣,突顯佛陀安詳的容顏。寶台前置一香案,二位具西域風采的力士作胡騰舞供養。上方雙樹間為佛母摩耶夫人聞佛入滅,自忉利天乘雲而來,旁二侍女護衛。二株娑羅樹枝葉呈七層布列,上飾眾寶,係據《觀無量壽經》所述的七重行樹描繪;此將涅槃場面與淨土信仰結合,反映當時的庶民佛教。
 此幅用筆精緻,設色濃豔,對比鮮明。背景飾以雲彩,在畫面細節描繪上,如寶台及其上所鋪的布帛等,紋飾細膩,均具裝飾效果。佛陀袈裟使用紅、綠兩種對比色,與寶台上所鋪綠布相映,是南宋寧波佛畫常用的表現手法。
