Work Description
“地藏菩萨与十府冥王”壁画位于智化殿扇面墙后面,抱厦南壁,高3米,宽4.67米。采用对称式构图,正中央为地藏菩萨,左右分别为道明和尚、闵长者和冥府十王。地藏菩萨,头戴花冠,身穿袈裟,全身璎珞珠宝装饰。右手持锡杖,表示戒行精严,爱护众生;左手持摩尼宝珠,表示满众生愿望。菩萨两侧各有六人,其中左侧身穿袈裟的比丘是道明和尚,右侧与道明和尚对应的是闵长者,左右侧其余十人为冥府十王。画中十王双手持笏,面向菩萨拱手而立,身着同样形式的衣冠,只是颜色有别。画的上端空余处有云纹图案。整幅壁画用色考究:主要有红、绿、黑、白、黄。画面人物众多,构图严谨,色彩绚丽,线条流畅。尤其是地藏菩萨,肌肤柔美,神情端丽,超凡脱俗、清新明净。地藏菩萨是佛教四大菩萨之一,在诸菩萨中以“大愿”著称,他的誓言“地狱不空,誓不成佛”。宋《高僧传》载:地藏菩萨为新罗国(即朝鲜)王族,姓金名乔觉,后出家,法名地藏。唐肃宗至德年间,他来到我国安徽九华山苦修,受到当地闵长者的供养。闵长者的儿子也跟从他出家,法号道明。金地藏涅槃后,世人看到他逝后肉身与佛经中的地藏菩萨相同,一致认为他是地藏菩萨化身,称他为“金地藏”,闵长者父子随之出名。后代塑像时,便常将此二人作为胁侍。壁画绘制在木板的板壁上,木板上贴有麻布,其上涂的是草泥,草泥层上有粉底层,然后是壁画表面的颜料层。表现的是地藏菩萨现六身的六道说法图。
