本幅款署:“吴郡仇英实父堇摹”,钤“实父”、“十洲”印2方印。
此幅为仇英的摹古之作。仇英中年以后,曾先后在大收藏家周凤来和项元汴家客居近20年,得以广泛观摩宋、元名迹,摹古技艺精深。《中兴瑞应图》卷为南宋萧照所作,取宋高宗赵构即位前的种种瑞应传说为内容,根据曹勋辑“瑞应诸事”所写赞文描绘而成,是一幅歌颂赵构重建王朝的作品。原作共12段,曾藏于项元汴家,仇英因此得到观摩机会。此卷临本共4段,用笔粗健,设色精细,图中建筑的比例、形象、风格以及细部都极其忠实于原作,再现了萧照绘画的神髓,可谓“下真迹一等”。也有古建筑研究专家认为仇英的楼阁画只是在临摹宋画时才有出色的表现,而其自己的创作则逊色一筹。
--------Introduction in English--------
"Linxiao Zhao Zhongxing Rui Ying Tu" Volume, Ming Dynasty, Qiu Ying Ling Tu, silk, color, vertical 33 cm, horizontal 723 cm.
This drawing is a copy of Qiu Ying's real father in Wu County, and two side seals are printed in Jun's "real father" and "Shizhou".
This is Qiu Ying's imitation of the ancients. After Qiu Ying's middle age, Zhou Fenglai, a great collector, and Xiang Yuanbian, who lived in Hakka for nearly 20 years, were able to widely observe the famous sites of Song and Yuan Dynasty, and to imitate ancient arts with profound skills. The volume Zhongxing Ruiying Tu was written by Xiao Zhao in the Southern Song Dynasty. It takes all kinds of Ruiying legends before Zhao Gong of Song Gaozong as its content. It is a work that praises Zhao Gong for rebuilding the dynasty according to the praises written by Cao Xun's edition of "Ruiying Everything". There are 12 paragraphs in the original work, which was hidden in the family of Xiang Yuanbian, so Qiu Ying was given a chance to see it. This volume consists of four sections, with strong brush and fine color design. The proportion, image, style and details of the architecture in the picture are very faithful to the original work. It reproduces the essence of Xiao Zhao's painting, which can be described as "the first genuine work". Some experts in ancient architecture think that Qiu Ying's Pavilion paintings only have excellent performance in copying Song paintings, while his own creation is inferior.
