慧可斷臂圖 雪舟等楊
日本
此圖描繪禪宗二祖慧可立雪斷臂求法的情景，為日本雪舟等楊晚年之作。現為日本重要文化財。雪舟為室町時代（1392～1573）畫僧，水墨畫之集大成者，以明晰的空間構圖和蒼勁的筆勢為其特徵，開創室町時代水墨畫的嶄新作風。
圖中達摩祖師於嵩山少林寺面壁坐禪，結跏趺坐於蒲團上。身後為禪宗二祖慧可，初次拜謁達摩，請求收為弟子，未獲許可，立於雪中度過一晚，並自斷手臂，以示求道的決心。
達摩目光炯炯有神，長眉、濃鬚之梵相，筆法雄渾有力，眼瞳接近上眼瞼，表現戲劇性瞬間的緊張感。岩壁採皴法描繪，將線條反覆皴擦，表現岩石之脈絡紋理和堅實的量感，用粗大的輪廓線從外側暈染，墨色渾厚，與淡墨的衣紋線形成鮮明對比。
