故宮書畫錄(卷六),第四冊,頁184-185&* 李唐(約西元1049─1130年),字晞古,河陽(今河南孟縣)人。徽宗朝入畫院,高宗建炎間為畫院待詔。善山水人物,是北宋至南宋間具有影響力的大家。 茂林溪岸,一人肩葫蘆,沿著蜿蜒的小徑,走向參天古木的林中去採藥。樹木枝幹交錯,葉片繁密,與溪水及小徑成虛實對比,也突顯出森林的幽深神秘。 本幅選自「名繪集珍」冊。 &*Li T’ang, a native of Honan province, was in the Northern Sung painting academy under Hui-tsung and resumed service in the Southern Sung under Kao-tsung as Painter-in-Attendance. He specialized in landscapes and figures, becoming one of the most influential landscape painters of the Northern and Southern Sung interim.At the edge of a stream by lush woods, a figure makes his way with a gourd bottle slung over his shoulder as he walks along a zigzagging path. He appears to be heading into the woods to gather herbs. The dense branches and lush leaves, which contrast with the light sky, water, and path, create for a dark and mysterious atmosphere for the setting.&*李唐字晞古,河陽(今河南孟縣)人。徽宗朝補入畫院,高宗建炎間(1127-1230)授成忠郎,為畫院待詔,授金帶。善畫山水人物,筆意不凡,兼工畫牛。由於李唐身歷兩宋畫院,個人的成就卓越,為南北宋之間承先啟後的大家。本幅選自「名繪集珍冊」第七幅,畫茂林溪岸,古木參天,綠樹覆蔭,一人肩荷葫蘆,沿著蜿蜒小徑行至林中採藥。作者以枝幹交錯、葉片繁密的林木為「實」,以溪水及小徑為「虛」,並採斜角式的佈局,虛實相應,已展現南宋邊角構圖的意念。全作以濃墨鉤勒山石樹木的輪廓,又以雙鉤畫夾葉,再罩以青綠,使得樹林更顯蒼鬱。以尖細之筆畫水紋,又以較為簡括的筆觸皴染坡石與樹木的紋理,全作筆法靈活。本幅並無作者款印,但畫樹石與設色的方法皆與李唐的作風相近,或許因為這個原因,所以舊籤將此幅訂名為李唐之作。(李玉珉)
