Actually speaking of artworks left over from ancient times, our Dunhuang Grottoes are considered to be very classic among them, but because the time away from us is too long, a lot of paint on the murals has fallen off, but the grace can be seen Arrived. The most famous one in Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes is the Feitian Picture, which is found in almost every cave, but the Feitian Picture in the 148th library of the Tang Dynasty is almost the endorsement of the image in Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes.
The flying woman in this picture, with six arms, can be said to be a classic in the classics, so it has attracted many experts to study. Next, the editor will analyze with you, how did the Apsaras of Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes be made? First of all, let's explore the painting materials. In ancient times, these paints were not available now, and some of the paints on the murals at that time were mainly mineral pigments.
Most of them are some very natural minerals, for example, the red ones are generally cinnabar, the green ones are malachite, etc., and some gemstones abroad After processing, it will become a pigment. Because these pigments are minerals, they can withstand the sun's rays, but coupled with the erosion of some moisture in the cave, the pigments have also faded, but you can still see the graceful posture of this picture.
And the painting method of the flying figure in the Dunhuang fresco adopts the painting method of the Western Regions. In this picture, the painting technique pays special attention to the smudge problem. In fact, I want to use this technique to do it Highlight the three-dimensional sense of this work. In the flying goddess, the nose and cheeks are treated with white first, and then smudged with flesh color. This light-dark relationship allows us to easily see the painting methods of the Western Regions. Such a three-dimensional effect was very rare at the time.
But today due to the color retreat, many lines have gradually become thicker and darker, so what we see now is not so perfect at the time, but we can restore it by repairing The way to reproduce the portraits of Flying Heaven, they are generally beautiful women, but they are not women. Even in the Buddhist scriptures, they still have horns.
So the image of Feitian is a cultural product formed by blending in different regions and after different cultural collisions. Starting from the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Dunhuang Mogao The cave has gradually become brilliant.
