Qing Imperial Palace: Embroidery of the Western Pure Land

Silk

刺繡極樂世界圖

中國

清宮舊藏。素綢地,運用十餘種針法繡西方極樂世界圖。中段繡三座亭閣,阿彌陀佛居中,頂藍髮肉髻,面相方圓,外披紅色袒右袈裟,右覆偏衫,結跏趺坐於蓮座上。頭頂上方寶蓋富麗莊嚴。佛兩側分別為觀世音、大勢至菩薩,二菩薩皆戴寶冠,身披天衣,衣飾華麗。三聖下方分組立有菩薩、弟子等聖眾。佛上方放光,其間有無數小坐佛。
 布局基本上延續唐代(618~907)就已形成的西方淨土變相形式,即以西方三聖為中心,四周圍繞菩薩、弟子等聖眾,上為巍峨莊嚴的樓閣殿堂,下有蓮池化生、寶樹和瑞鳥。鉅細靡遺地表現《佛說阿彌陀經》中所述的殊勝場景。
 圖軸上端有清乾隆四十七年(1782)御筆漢、滿、藏、蒙四體題贊,款署「壬寅(1782)仲夏月中澣 御贊」,朱繡「乾」、「隆」印。此作曾在《秘殿珠林續編》、《清內府藏刺繡書畫錄》中著錄。
