王紱 1362-1416
絕壁凝嵐圖
水墨紙本 立軸
鈐印:孟端
題跋:
(王達)萬古山川一鏡開,層層曲曲見樓臺。雲隨曉月峰前墮,鷗逐春溪樹裏來。兩岸落花人蕩槳,半汀殘雨客㘅杯。寰區何處有此地,物外四時無點埃。豈但右軍多筆法,要知黃石是仙才。奔灘觸浪飛頳鯉,絕壁凝嵐護翠苔。玉室金堂疑太華,紫芝瑤草憶蓬萊。相看六月不知暑,一榻清風真快哉。吾弟王孟端學成於己而德蘊諸中,三餘之暇工畫,即高出人意表,雖古人不過也。黃君叔洪,吾之至友也,書無不讀,而術無不精,雖醫卜耕稼之藝,亦用心焉。今觀孟端為叔洪畫此圖,筆法高古,用意精深,一幅之間而眾妙咸備,豈二人道術相忘,不求工而自工耶?抑豈道術眼相燭,不敢相欺,致如此之精耶?嗚呼!天地之間未必無荊玉也,卞氏之不生耳,大抵有卞氏則荊玉自然出矣。二君子好古而尚志,趣清而才廣,豈無識之者哉。苟有識之者,則知吾言之不妄媚矣。洪武丙子(1396),耐軒居士王達識。鈐印:王達善氏
(陶振)前山後山蒼翠深,大樹小樹寒蕭森。不知何處打魚者,日暮泊舡溪水陰。鰲叟。鈐印:陶振
鑑藏印:
(裴景福)裴氏之寶、伯謙寶此過於明珠駿馬
(陳長吉)寶之過眼、白門李氏珍藏、名山堂印

著錄:
裴景福《壯陶閣書畫錄》,卷八,中華書局,頁五十九至六十一
注:
王紱,字孟端,號友石生,別號九龍山人,江蘇無錫人。明初以弟子員徵入京為官,因胡惟庸案受累,謫戌山西大同,後返回故裡,隱居九龍山。四十二歲薦至南京,供事文淵閣,官至中書舍人,參與編纂《永樂大典》,並隨成祖北巡。永樂十四年(1416)二月病逝京師館舍。
王孟端墨竹名滿天下,山水亦影響深遠,師吳鎮、王蒙,繼往開來,為吳派前驅。性格孤高,頗負才情,非知己者不肯輕易贈畫,時人吳訥(1372-1475)曾題記「舍人風度冠時流,筆底江山不易求」句,亦有「用筆精到,超出幼文天游之上,與叔明並駕」之說,可見其精妙難得。
本幅構圖細長深邃,岩壑高遠,近漁泊三兩富塵世氣,遠山巒疊翠,皴染近王蒙法,勻整峭拔,沉著渾厚。另有王達題句,王達,字達善,號耐軒居士,江蘇無錫人,一說為紱胞兄,小楷精絕,與浦源、王紱合稱「錫山三杰」。常與孟端詩書唱和,除本幅外,《竹爐煮茶圖》亦為一例,王達作序,紱作畫,諸文人題跋,深得乾隆喜愛,惜後遭燬。
