张大千与网师园
二十世纪三十年代,张大千、张善孖兄弟寓居网师园长达五年之久,昆仲二人相互切磋画艺,广交师友,谈文论艺,章太炎、徐悲鸿等名流常欢聚于此,殿春簃乃其会客、作画之所。善孖擅画虎,于园中豢养一虎,名虎儿,并以其为模特作画,大千补景而成《十二金钗图》,传为画坛佳话。
抗战爆发,大千兄弟离开网师园。后大千虽至台湾,仍心系网师旧居。1982年,大千缅怀其兄,念及虎儿,遂题"先仲兄所豢虎儿之墓"遥寄苏州。园林主管部门据此刻碑于西墙供游人凭吊参观。今查考史据,丰富陈设,力求再现大千兄弟当时生活风貌,以期传承和弘扬园林文化。
Zhang Daqian and the Master-of-Nets Garden
In the 1930s, Zhang Daqian and his brother Zhang Shanzi lived for five years in the Master-of-Nets Garden, where they perfected their art of painting and made the garden a place of extensive exchanges in art and classics with many friends, notably Zhang Taiyan and Xu Beihong among them. "The Peony Hall" here was then used for reception as well as painting studio. Zhang Shanzi, a master hand in painting tigers, actually raised a tiger in the garden, named "Hu Er" (meaning tiger cub), and used the tiger as model to painted twelve tigers, while Zhang Daqian added the backdrop scenes, later known as the glamorous masterpiece "Twelve Tigers".#网师园调虎之景 #张大千与网师园 #张善孖画虎传奇 #国画大师的艺术生活 #古典园林之美
