A native of Ta-liang (modern K’ai-feng, Honan), he is also said to be from Ch’ang-an or Lan-t’ien. Called to court in the T’ien-pao era (742-755), he studied under Ts’ao Pa and was famous for painting horses, being admired by the T’ang critic Chang Yen-yüan. In this work of bamboo, rocks, and trees are 3 gibbons among branches and on a rock. Below are a black and a white steed leisurely trotting. The inscription and yü-shu (“imperial work”) seal of the Sung emperor Hui-tsung and “Treasure of the Ch’i-hsi Hall” seal of the Sung emperor Li-tsung are spurious and later additions. All the motifs are finely rendered, though, suggesting a Southern Sung (1127-1279) date. &*1.林柏亭、張華芝,〈唐韓幹猿馬圖〉,收入林柏亭、張華芝編,《畫馬名品特展圖錄》(臺北:國立故宮博物院,1990年元月初版),頁81-82。 &*此幅繪竹石樹林,三猿戲於枝間石上,其下繪黑白雙駿,作徐行之狀。無款,舊題韓幹作,但徽宗題字和「御書」一璽,及理宗「緝熙殿寶」璽皆存疑,故當為後人仿作。韓幹,大梁人(河南開封),亦有作長安或藍田人。天寶(七四二-七五五)初,召入宮中為供奉。曾師曹霸,以畫馬而得名,唐張彥遠極為推崇之。 &*In the upper part of this picture are three gibbons-one plays on a large rock and two are among tree branches. Under the tree, two horses canter side-by-side. Though the painting has neither seal nor signature of the artist, it has been traditionally attributed to Han Kan. The Hui-tsung (r. 1101-1125) inscription and Yü-shu ("Imperially-written") seal, as well as the Ch'i-hsi-tien pao ("Treasure of the Ch'i-hsi Hall") seal of Li-tsung (r.1225-1264), also seem suspicious, suggesting that this painting was probably done by a later painter. Han Kan was a native of Ta-liang (K'ai-feng, Honan), though some records indicate that he came from Ch’ang-an or Lan-t'ien, Shensi. He entered court service in the early T'ien-pao era (742-755) as a painter and studied under Ts’ao Pa, a famous painter of horses. He, too, became famous for painting horses. His works were highly admired by Chang Yen-yüan (ca. 815-after 875), the T'ang connoisseur and critic. &*本幅無款,舊題唐代韓幹作。韓幹,大梁人(河南開封),亦有作長安或藍田人。天寶(七四二-七五五)召入宮中為供奉。曾師曹霸,以畫馬而得名,唐張彥遠極為推崇之。此幅繪竹石樹林,三猿戲於枝間石上,其下繪黑白雙駿。畫上宋徽宗題字和「御書」一璽,及理宗「緝熙殿寶」璽皆偽,當為後加。然畫中不論猿、馬、樹石、枝葉,皆描繪細膩,或為南宋作品。
