番禺葉氏家族翰墨

葉衍蘭 (1823-1898)

隸書百賢圖聯句


水墨金箋 扇面 鏡框


款識:

右百賢圖聯句。倬亭大兄墨家正之。葉衍蘭書。


鈐印:「臣衍蘭印」、「蘭台」。


藏印:「陳自傑」。


來源:上世紀九十年代初得自香港集古齋


註:本幅隸書五言句計百,以仗句分贊歷代賢士百人,句下均以工楷寫人名,所甄錄者,忠臣將相,碩彥名士,莫不垂範百世。蘭臺老人性清高,夙抱為前賢傳像立說之志,嘗編〈清代學者象傳〉,凡一百七十人,圖史並重,以申其德。本幀亦秉此志,蓋吏正則民篤,先賢清芬,當所仰止。上題「百賢圖」,未知是否光緒十六年(1890)作〈聖賢像傳〉之未定稿。


番禺葉氏家族翰墨 (拍品編號 2642-2645)

廣東番禺葉氏,世代儒雅,才傑蔚起。同治年間,葉衍蘭歷官戶部主事、軍機章京,宦京廿餘年後,歸里主講越華書院,以詞名著稱粵東。葉恭綽幼從蘭臺公游,克紹祖芬,入民國,歷任交通總長、北京國學館館長職。三十年代脫離政界,專藝文之事。葉公超,幼由叔恭綽扶養,赴洋留學,學貫中西,四十年代轉投外交界,歷任外交部長及駐美大使要職,後退隱。三人宦遊半生,終究文人本色,文翰風流,照映一時。本輯集三家書迹四件,足窺一門風雅之鴻爪,可堪珍玩。
