吴伟《词林雅集图》卷考析

Study on the Scroll by Wu Wei Tiffed Gathering of Notable Lyric Poets(Cilin yaji tu)

上海博物馆藏吴伟《词林雅集图卷》,描绘了弘治十八年(1505)浙江按察佥事龙霓在金陵与友人雅集的场景,雅集者多为其同僚,或同级、同科进士,也有部分诗友。此次雅集兼具送行与雅会的性质,又可堪称诗社之发轫。是图创作于雅集之后不久,即弘治十八年。吴伟此图兼取了送行图、雅集图、宴乐图的创作手法,白描线条轻快简淡、而不失工谨、细劲,其独特的风貌创造了雅集图的新形式。

The scroll painting Gathering of Notable Lyric Poets(Cilin yaji tu) of Wu Wei in the collection of the Shanghai Museum depicts a gathering in Jinling(Nanjing) in the 18th year (1505) of the Hongzhi reign of Long Ni,the provincial judicial commissioner(anchaqianshi) of Zhejiang,with several friends,including colleagues,fellow examination candidates and fellow graduates,as well as some poet friends.This gathering has all the atmosphere of an envoi gathering of the type that marks the origins of poetry societies(shishe).The painting was completed in the same year not long after the gathering.Wu Wei creatively includes the features of several genres,the farewell painting,the painting recording a gathering of notables (yaji-tu) and the banquet painting,and the hasty white sketch lines did not detract from the meticulousness and detail of the work,the unique style of which created a new model for paintings recording such gatherings(yaji-tu).
