十六羅漢圖 趙璚
中國
畫面角隅處有墨書小楷的落款「四明□塘趙璚筆」等字樣。四明即今中國浙江寧波，趙璚生卒年不詳，南宋（1127～1279）寧波佛像畫家，名不見於中國畫傳，卻在日本《君台觀左右帳記》等畫傳中，留其名。此十六羅漢圖，為八曲屏風式，計十六扇畫面，每扇高87.6公分，寬47.9公分，各畫一羅漢，其中第二幅原作現藏美國波士頓美術館，日本千葉法華經寺所藏為谷文晁依原作補繪。法華經寺所收藏之十六幅，除幾幅因剝落後加補筆，第一、二、五、十尊羅漢江戶時代（1615～1868）補作外，其餘皆保存原作風貌。十六羅漢名號與玄奘譯《大阿羅漢難提蜜多羅所說法住記》所載相同，經中載：「佛薄伽梵般涅槃時，以無上法付囑十六大阿羅漢并眷屬等，令其護持使不滅沒，及敕其身與諸施主作真福田，令彼施者得大果報。」
十六羅漢均坐於岩石上，表情不甚誇張，面貌寫實，顏面略施暈染。羅漢姿勢各殊，或仰或俯，或端身正坐，或倚杖而坐。身後無任何背景，身側亦無侍者和供養人，僅於第九及第十尊者配以虎和龍。此畫設色富麗、明快，用筆精嚴，筆觸柔細清雅。
