木雕五百羅漢圖插屏

中國

清宮舊藏。清代(1644~1911)中期作品。插屏呈長方形,雙面屏心以鸂鶒木、象牙為材質,依據宋代(960~1279)畫家陳居中的畫稿雕刻五百羅漢圖。
 屏心正面以鸂鶒木雕出群山起伏,層巒疊嶂,山間蒼松翠柏,行雲流水,意境悠遠。插屏以象牙雕刻樓台、小橋,並鑲嵌五百羅漢像。羅漢三三兩兩,或三五成群,或簇集一起,各持法器,或交談、或憑欄觀望。咫尺之間,眾多的人物安排疏密得當,神態迥然各異,表現出高超的構圖能力和雕刻藝術水平。
 屏心上部有清乾隆皇帝(1735~1796在位)所題御製羅漢贊一首「指出乾闥手/扶禪杖塔或/倚肩缾或擎/掌或佩法輪/或持拂子如/意如誰數珠/數此虎馴若/貍以手撫之/全身威猛滿/志慈悲」。
 屏心背面雕「半壁出海日」。波濤洶湧、浪花四濺的海面上,浮出半輪金色太陽,表現旭日東昇、冉冉出海之勢。插屏邊座、站牙和披水牙均為紫檀木,配有浮雕夔龍紋,簡潔大方、古樸典雅。
