从《游骑图》看中西方透视观

Chinese and Western Perspective on Painting in Traveling Cavalrymen

唐代佚名作品《游骑图》,无论是从绘画技巧,还是风格来讲,都可视为中国古典写实绘画表现鞍马题材的典范之作,与西方文艺复兴早期如乌切诺等人的写实绘画相比,在鞍马人物形象的准确性与形体透视的生动性等方面的把握上,似乎具有更感人的魅力。可知中国古典写实绘画应是比西方更早掌握了如何通过透视缩形来真实表现客观物体的方法。尽管西方意义的科学透视法并不在中国产生,但那种中国式的视觉投影方法,曾经有力支撑着中国封建时代盛期的绘画写实艺术,那么,甚至在图像时代的今天,我们仍然有必要对其现实意义进行思考。

Traveling Cavalrymen, one of the master paintings of Tang dynasty, is no doubt the model of life on horseback in the Chinese classical and realistic painting history. It seems to have more touching charm in grasping the accuracy of the images and vividness of the figure perspective, compared with the realistic paintings of the Wuqieno and other western paintings in early Renaissance period. It shows that Chinese-classical-realistic painters should have mastered the skills of depicting objects by means of perspective and reduction. Although western scientific perspective was not born in china, Chinese-style visual projection method strongly supported the realistic painting art in china＇s feudal era, so even in nowadays, the image age, it＇s still necessary for us to reflect and explore its practical significance.
