土佐光信

畫師

生卒年不詳。日本室町時代(1392~1573)中後期土佐派畫師、土佐派中興之祖。土佐廣周之嫡子。約於應仁之亂(1467~1477)前後期席卷畫壇,任宮廷繪所所長之職達半世紀之久,並為幕府、諸侯、寺院及神社等作畫,從巨幅的障壁畫至佛畫、肖像畫、繪卷及扇面畫等,形式多樣化。
 其畫風簡潔,色彩淡雅,描線率簡,筆勢呈露,人物表現雖有些平板、稚拙,卻反映當時樸實民風,富有時代氣息。將大和繪導入水墨畫技法,並擴展其題材、樣式,呈現嶄新風格,為土佐派之創立者,與土佐光長、土佐光起並稱為土佐派三筆。
 傳世作品有清水寺緣起繪卷,分為上、中、下三卷,構圖鮮明,可看出當時建築形制與參拜者服飾;星光寺緣起繪卷,分上、下卷,以大和繪的寫實手法淡彩點景;現皆為日本重要文化財,藏東京國立博物館。
 北野天神緣起繪卷,藏京都北野天滿宮;石山寺緣起繪卷,共七卷,一至三卷為高階隆兼手筆,第四卷以後為補作,藏滋賀石山寺;皆現為日本重要文化財,被視為室町繪卷之代表作。另有槻峰寺緣起繪卷,藏美國華盛頓弗利爾美術館。
