張靈賓兄弟造彌勒佛立像

中國

此尊彌勒立像屬於典型的北魏(386~534)晚期秀骨清像、褒衣博帶式造像。佛高肉髻,呈波狀髮紋,臉形清瘦。右手施無畏印,左手作與願印。著紅色褒衣博帶式袈裟,衣袂及下襬襞褶層層疊覆,表現出柔軟滑順的絲質感。寬鬆的衣領和纖柔的頸部形成對比,與其他佛像貼體的大衣設計十分不同,充分體現了當時的審美趣味。蓮瓣形背屏外緣陰刻火焰紋,紅色敷彩,內層為綠莖和白花,繪刻一體,形成很強烈的色彩效果。
 背面刻發願文「惟大代熙平元年(516)太歲在丙申七月丙寅朔十五日刊記之……敬造彌勒石像一區通光連夫一丈六尺……」,其文含「定州中山湟郡山陽村」、「像主張靈賓張顯賓兄弟為□父亡親侍佛」,可知功德主是定州常山人,故此像應屬河北中部地區作品。
