十六羅漢圖 釋石濤

中國

清(1644~1911)初畫僧石濤所繪。卷末作者自署「丁未年(1667)天童忞之孫善果月之子」。天童忞名道忞,乃當時中國浙江寧波天童寺住持;善果月是道忞的弟子旅庵本月。石濤本名朱若極,明朝(1368~1644)皇室後代。明亡後出家為僧,善畫山水、花果、蘭竹,人物畫較少見,曾於題跋中寫道:「余於山水、樹石、禪像、蟲魚無不摹寫,至於人物,不敢亂作也。」此卷作於石濤二十六歲時,為其現存最早釋道人物代表作。
 此卷高46.4公分,長597.4公分,十六羅漢以群像形式出現,約分為五組。各組羅漢藉由某一情節加以連貫,彼此呼應,動靜合宜,構圖複雜多變而又統一。
 羅漢形貌有別,姿態各殊,於山林、樹石、沙灘間,或展經閱讀,或據穴宴坐,或倚坐說法,或觀祥龍現身,或倚樹而立。羅漢身側伴隨侍者或瑞獸,生機活潑。
 人物鬚眉毫髮、面目輪廓刻劃入微,栩栩如生,衣紋細勁流暢,似行雲流水。人物白描,僅部分用淡墨略加渲染。山石表面崎嶇凹凸,以渴筆描繪山石輪廓,其間偶加苔點,甚少渲染,造型獨特,與人物白描筆法相呼應。
