Ritratto di Shun'oku Myōha

ca. 1383
Not on view
Questo ritratto formale rappresenta Shun’oku Myōha (1311-1388), importante figura del buddismo Zen. Eseguito per un tempio di Kyoto, contiene un’iscrizione firmata dal modello e appartiene a una tradizione ritrattistica nata in Cina associata a funerali e commemorazioni. In Giappone il genere divenne caratteristico nei dipinti che tramandavano le immagini dei maestri Zen, non solo per cerimonie commemorative, ma anche per testimoniare la trasmissione degli insegnamenti buddisti (dharma) dai maestri ai loro allievi. Questo ritratto è audace e avvincente, risultato ottenuto grazie alle abili pennellate di inchiostro unite alla complessa applicazione dei colori che definiscono ogni particolare del volto e dell’abbigliamento.
