P54 郎世寧：八駿図

郎世寧: 八駿圖

郎世寧擅長動物畫，清高宗時進貢不少駿馬，郎氏創作有許多馬圖。是幅畫煙雲綠柳下八匹馬，姿態各異，刻意寫真，可謂馬圖代表作。

郎世寧：八駿図

郎世寧は確かな西洋画法の基盤のうえに中国伝統画法をとりいれ、彩色鮮麗な人物、花鳥、犬馬ともに優品を伝えますが、本図は駿馬を愛した乾隆帝のために描かれた数多くの馬図のうち最精の一作。八頭の馬の様々の姿態、骨格、肉付、皮毛と、まさに瞠目すべき写実の妙技です。

Lang Shih-Ning : Eight Horses
Lang Shih-ning was especially skilled in portraying animals and executed many paintings of horses for the Ch'ien-lung Emperor who loved fine horses. This work is a representative example of the theme depicting eight horses in various postures under a willow tree, all rendered in ultimate realism.
