His works exhibit both the formality of the academy artist and the style of the literati painter. In a landscape infused with mists and mountain light, a servant boy carries books toward a small cottage half-hidden in the trees; there his master lies napping on a low couch on the open porch. Winding paths thread the woods beyond, where storied pagodas pierce the forest’s skyline; in the distance plunges a cascading stream, its slender form silhouetted against the far range of mountains. Stylistic considerations indicate that this painting is most likely a copy by Ch’iu Ying of a work by Wen Cheng-ming (1470-1559); a copy whose meticulous brushwork and refined sense of coloring surpass those of the original. &*仇英(約西元一四九四-一五五二年),字實父,號十洲,江蘇太倉人。明代中期,蘇州一地人文薈萃;仇英初執事丹青,周臣異而教之,亦受文徵明器重,為之延譽,後遂成名。與沈周、文徵明、唐寅並稱明四大家。 此幅似文徵明畫風,用筆細謹,設色雅麗。畫幅細長,前景柴門半掩,曲徑通幽;中景高士倚榻閑憩;遠景雲山垂瀑,樓宇參差。逐步引人入勝,呈現文士徜徉於園林、陶然於山光水色之際。 &*Literati flourished in Soochow during the life of Ch’iu Ying, native to T’ai-ts’ang, Kiangsu. Ch’iu began as a skilled artisan who came to be taught by Chou Ch’en. Ch’iu also was praised by the literatus Wen Cheng-ming, eventually bringing him fame as he became one of the Four Ming Masters. This work is similar to Wen Cheng-ming’s style, with fine brushwork and elegant colors. The narrow format reveals a semi-concealed gateway in the foreground and a path winding through the tranquility. In the middle is a lofty scholar leaning on a daybed at leisure, while behind are mountains and a waterfall with a few buildings scattered. Leading the viewer’s eye into the scene, it reveals how a scholar wanders in a garden, admiring the beautiful land. &*1.許郭璜,〈明仇英林亭佳趣〉,收入許郭璜編,《仇英作品展圖錄》(臺北:國立故宮博物院,1989年初版),頁92。 2.〈明仇英林亭佳趣〉,收入國立故宮博物院編輯委員會編,《園林名畫特展圖錄》(臺北:國立故宮博物院,1987年十月初版),頁74。 3.江兆申,〈仇英林亭佳趣 軸〉,收入國立故宮博物院編,《吳派畫九十年展》(臺北:國立故宮博物院,1975年初版,1976年再版,1981年三版),頁305 - 306。
