Although the dates of his birth and death are unknown, it is known that he was summoned to the capital during the Yung-lo era (1403-1424), where he served as Painter-in-Attendance at the Wu-ying Hall. During the reign of the Hsüan-te emperor (r. 1426-1435), he performed various duties in the Inner Court. A talented poet of wide learning, he also excelled at painting flowers, fruits, and birds. He was the master painter whose style was emulated by Lü Chi and other later artists. This painting follows the manner of works by masters of the Sung dynasty (960-1279) and succeeds in attaining the essence of their work. Two magpies fight on the ground, while another perched above shrilly cries out, admonishing them. Consummate skill was required to portray this completely naturalistic scene. &*邊文進(活動於1403-1435之間),字景昭,福建沙縣人,祖籍甘肅隴西。在永樂尚未遷都時已入畫院任職,而後在北京擔任武英殿待詔,宣德間召入文思院,值謹身殿待詔。 明初花鳥以邊氏最有名,曾被譽為「禁中三絕」之一,邊氏繼承宋代院體花鳥傳統,以工筆寫生取勝。此圖以雙鉤填彩,設色妍麗,綠竹茂盛,經營位置疏密變化多。湖石輪廓採披麻皴,繪羽毛敷染技法細膩,表現出質感與色感。山喜鵲一隻立於竹,兩隻相搏於地,或鳴或嬉,仰俯側反,能捕捉其情態。(林莉娜)
