寺僧圖 聖喬治

斯里蘭卡

十九世紀英國統治斯里蘭卡期間,英國聖喬治中校(Harry Hemersley St. George)在駐守該國期間,繪製了許多油畫,其中有以佛教為題材者。
 斯里蘭卡約於西元前三世紀傳入佛教,又於十二世紀大興改革,成為上座部佛教之國。此圖可見該國佛教風貌,如僧侶的衣袍、佛像之造像特色等。
 畫中描繪斯里蘭卡佛教寺院殿堂內部,以坐佛為背景。佛頭光與背光以層層光圈表現,雙眼微微垂視;身著袒右袈裟,衣紋以水波線條表現,顯得輕薄貼體;手結禪定印,結跏趺坐於佛龕內。
 佛兩側及上方飾多重布幔,其前供桌上擺設供物。供桌前方一比丘身著黃色通肩僧袍,左手持扇而立。
 此圖明暗對比鮮明,構圖簡潔明確,具體地勾勒出人物與景物深遠距離,極富寫實效果。
