于阗公主
此画像作于榆林窟二十五窟北壁,属大千先生敦煌之行的作品,为大千先生与儿子张心智共同完成。全图线条精准流畅,人物姿态端庄大方。头上的凤冠、发簪及华丽的衣饰都非常精细描绘,衣饰的设色更是雍容华贵,富丽堂皇。
蜀绣中,尤以大面积同色绣制最难,难在若一针错,则画面顿生矛盾之感,而此幅作品于大面积绣片之上,再加绣华丽精致的飞翔金鸟,更是突破了蜀绣工艺中的极限,人物全身之璎珞珠饰,更是綉艺中“越小越难”的最佳代言,为体现繁复衣饰的华丽庄严,绣娘于极细小之针脚上,施展浑身解数,方才得这一幅巨作。
此画由尚品绣坊费时两年精心绣制而成。
Princess YuTian
This painting was painted in YuLin cavern number 25th northern wall. It was the masterpiece creation of Mr.Zhang’s trip to Dunhuang. The painting was a joint effort of Mr.Zhang and his son, Mr.Zhang XinZhi. The painting details were meticulously seamless. The human character portraits was vividly real showing the facial demeanors, the elegant clothings with heavenly touches.
In the traditional Sichuan Embroidery work, the hardest part was to create a large scale embroidery work of a single color. One tiny mistake will result in the ruin of the entire work effort. This painting was not only large but also painted with various intricate colors like the flying birds. It adds higher degree of difficulty to the embroidery work to say the least. Couple with the abundant jewelries worn by the characters and the opulent extravagant clothing made it even more difficult to stich. It was the hard and intricate work of the embroiders that complete this embroidery masterpiece eventually.
It took two years to complete this embroidery masterpiece.
