Life of the Buddha - Great Departure

Ink and color on paper

決意出家圖

泰國

此圖為泰國大城時期(Ayutthaya,1350~1767)寫經插圖,描繪悉達多太子為求道離宮前,默然向沉睡中的妻子耶輸陀羅和兒子羅●(目+侯)羅告別。
 此寫經富有許多精心繪製的佛傳和本生故事插畫,被視為珍貴的泰國藝術典範。此經於斯里蘭卡坎底(Kandy)一寺院被發現,故推測可能於一七五○至一七五一年間坎底時期(1590〜1815)出使泰國的使節攜帶回國。另有學者認為此經可能是一七七○年代之作品。
 圖中央耶輸陀羅帶紅色頭光,頂戴泰式尖聳寶冠,瓔珞嚴身,側身而臥,左手作枕,右手撫幼兒。圖右下隅一宮女右脇而眠,中間是白馬犍陟,其前為馬夫車匿。悉達多太子立於畫面左側,右手持長劍,俯視跪地合掌的車匿,似作離別前的最後囑咐。
 圖上方描繪重重屋宇,富有中國傳統建築特色,反映出當時繪畫受到中國藝術影響。整體畫面以暖色為基調,色彩絢麗,裝飾性強。
 佛傳故事係敘述佛陀一生的事蹟。佛入滅後,記載佛傳的經典有《修行本起經》、《太子瑞應本起經》、《普曜經》等流傳於世,內文均詳細記載佛陀由過去世、乘象入胎、誕生、踰城出家、成道、轉法輪及入涅槃等描述。
