传顾恺之《女史箴图》与中国古代艺术史

"Female Scholar"Attributed to Gu Kaizhi and Ancient Chinese Art

现藏英国伦敦大英博物馆的《女史箴图》(图一～三),历来传为顾恺之(约344～406年)所作,可说是传世最重要的一件中国画卷。自1903年,英博物馆收得此画后,西方学界提到中国绘画,多从此画说起。

The picture now in Brain Museum has long been attributed to Gu Kaizhi (A. D. 344 to 406) and does rank top in the history of Chinese painting. However, what we see is a copy rather than the original work.Basing himself on a careful analysis of its calligraphic style, use of line and representation of human figures,along with a comparison with many related works of art unearthed,and a consultation to literature.the author comes to the conclusion that the author of the copy is a court artist of Southern Dynasties of the 6th century.The work owes its sense of three dimensions to the influence of a 5th-century artist Zhang Sengyao's "concavo-concave" painting while maintains Gu Kaizhi's brushstroke.
