Mogao Cave 17: Seated Buddha

佛坐像
甘肅省酒泉市敦煌市莫高窟第17窟出土
甘肅省酒泉市敦煌市莫高窟第17窟出土。為十世紀中葉之作品。這是坐佛畫像的一種粉本。佛手作說法印，結跏趺坐於蓮座上，帶頭光及身光，頂上有華蓋。
全圖以小針孔組成輪廓線，僅頭光如蓮瓣的火焰紋及唇部為紅色，身光發散出的波狀紋為黑色。圖上可見三條粗墨線，可能是使用粉本時，用以固定的記號。
佛畫是將諸佛菩薩等形象繪在壁面、紙或布上，用於供養禮拜、宣揚解說教義之用。作畫前先作粉本，即先施粉上樣，再依樣作畫，即為畫稿。然佛畫的起源應與佛教造像同期，經典所載甚少，《大寶積經》卷八十九敘述有一比丘，於白布上畫如來像，法相莊嚴。此時大精進菩薩見此畫像，心生歡喜，遂發願來世能得如此法相。
