佛利尔美术馆藏《墨梅图卷》作者辨疑

Analysis of the Author of the Ink Blossoming Plums in Freer Gallery of Art

宋人《墨梅图卷》因本幅仅有“岩叟”二字款识,对于此卷作者的认定有“王岩叟”“宋伯仁”“何梦桂”诸说。籍借鉴藏印和跋文内容可知现存本幅与拖尾跋文并无对应关系,跋文当为剪裱移配。缕析诸说之疑爬梳文献可知《墨梅图卷》隐款所署“岩叟”二字当指南宋文士傅岩叟,傅岩叟晚年归隐于信州铅山乡里卜筑阁堂,种梅咏梅,与同时期隐居铅山一带的稼轩辛弃疾、克斋陈文蔚交好,常与上饶文士们酬唱雅集,书咏和乐。

Because there is only the inscription of two characters “Yan Sou” on the Ink Blossoming Plums, the painter of this Song painting has been regarded as “Wang Yansou”, “Song Boren” or “He Menggui”. Based on the connoisseur’s and collector’s seals and postscript, it can be inferred that there is no corresponding relationship between the main part painting and the postscript on the towed-at-the-end paper, the postscript should be cut from somewhere and mounted here. Through analyzing the extant opinions and sorting out the related literature, it can be concluded that the name “Yan Sou” signed on the Ink Blossoming Plums refers to the Southern Song scholar Fu Yansou.Fu Yansou retreated to Yanshan, Xinzhou in his later years and built hall to settle there, growing and singing the praises of the plums. He also got along with Xin Qiji and Chen Wenwei who also retired to Yanshan at the same period and regularly gathered with the literati in Shangrao to write back and forth poems.
