水月觀音菩薩像 (傳)顏輝

中國

唐代(618~907)畫家周昉創水月觀音像,後為歷代畫家效仿,此圖傳為元代(1271~1368)畫家顏輝所作。
 顏輝,字秋月。生卒年不詳。元代畫家。廬陵(今江西吉安)人,一說江山(今浙江江山)人。大德年間 (1297~1307)曾為此宮繪作壁畫。其擅畫釋、道人物、鬼神,造型奇特,筆法妙絕,《山庵雜錄》載︰「海會寺舊,顏輝手畫觀音聖像一大幀,筆力精妙,彩色嚴麗,世所罕見。」
 水月觀音為三十三觀音之一,通常描繪其坐於臨水岩石上,帶大圓光。此圖觀音臉部圓潤,神情安詳,雙手抱右膝,坐於岩岸上,身後為透明大圓光。觀音身著透薄天衣,隱約可見臂膀。衣紋線條流暢,以淡墨表現衣褶深淺。觀音右側為藍色琉璃器皿,中置楊枝淨瓶。岩岸下為波濤江水,後有松柏盤岩及飛泉直瀉。觀音四周如《大方廣佛華嚴經》卷六十八所述,在「巖谷之中,泉流縈映,樹木蓊鬱,香草柔軟,右旋布地。」全畫以水墨為主,整體色調渲淡而明快。
