伊人谓谁:仇英《美人春思图》考

Who Might the Lady Be: a Research on Qiu Ying's the Beauty Feeling the Spring

关于仇英《美人春思图》的主题,一向存在不同的认识。本文从细读画面入手,考察画中人物的身份。通过对比年代稍晚、为丁云鹏所作的类似作品,并结合卷末同代人的题诗来看,画面中的人物应与现实中的女妓息息相关,故而将此作置于明中期的青楼文化中,对其创作情境作了相关推测。得出结论如下:仇英在绘制此作时,充分借鉴了图绘洛神的传统,然又在细节设置上有所不同。从仇英可接触到的视觉资源来看,这并非是他不清楚洛神应该如何表现所致,而是有意为之。正是种种细节变化所制造出的模糊性,为对画作主题的不同解读提供了空间。

There are always different viewpoints on the subject of Qiu Ying＇s the Beauty Feeling the Spring. The current author tries to investigate the identity of the figure by the detailed study on the image. Referring to the similar works of later Ding Yunpeng and the inscribed poems by the contemporaries, it can be predicted that the figure in the painting should be closely bound up with the prostitute in reality and it belonged to the brothel culture of the mid-Ming dynasty. According to his extant works, it can be concluded that Qiu Ying once used the pattern of Nymph of Luo River for reference and was inclined to differ the painting from the tradition in details. It is exactly the ambiguity because of the changes in details that brought the possibility of diverse interpretations on the subject of the painting.
