開年有好幾個新的展覽，臉書這邊都會逐一介紹，首先，我們先來看看非常熱鬧的「四方來朝—職貢圖特展」
📍根據學者研究，這幅 #職貢圖 畫中所繪的大約是指唐太宗時，爪哇國東南方有婆利國、羅剎兩國，前來朝貢，路途中又與林邑結隊，於貞觀五年(631) 抵達長安，全幅共有27人，畫中人馬各自成組，浩浩蕩蕩向前行～
※婆利，今汶萊，在唐朝史籍中稱婆利
※林邑，中南半島古國名，位居現今越南中部地區，是占婆第一王朝到第四王朝的國號

【唐 閻立本職貢圖】[Tribute Bearers]
Yan Liben (?-673), Tang dynasty
形式：卷，尺寸：61 x 191 cm
畫中域外人物高額深目，手捧奇珍異物，由右向左絡繹前行。此畫應是描繪貞觀五年（631），婆利、羅剎、林邑三國使節團，向大唐帝國朝貢的史事。畫中人物極富戲劇性的造型，說明職貢圖「紀實」與「想像」的敘事風格。此幅沒有畫家款印，籤題作閻立本（?─673）。依《宣和畫譜》著錄，閻氏畫作多與唐朝國際政治有關。

以下內容節錄自「故宮書畫菁華特輯」
據李霖燦先生研究，畫中所繪是唐太宗時，爪哇國東南有婆利國、羅剎兩國，前來朝貢，途中又與林邑結隊，於貞觀五年(631) 抵達長安，全幅共27人，畫中人馬各自成組，由右往左前行。一臉虯鬚騎白馬，後有僕人持傘蓋掌羽扇隨從，畫中人物穿耳附璫，持象牙，有孔雀扇、耶葉、琉璃器(雙重罐)、假山石、香料、革屣、珊瑚、花斑羊等等，畫之時代雖未必是唐，但存唐之歷史則彌足珍貴。（王耀庭）
[Tribute Bearers] Yan Liben (?-673), Tang dynasty
Handscroll, ink and colors on silk, 61 x 191 cm
The figures in this Chinese painting have facial features that are obviously foreign, including pronounced foreheads and deep-set eyes. They are shown holding precious objects and proceeding from right to left. This painting probably depicts a tribute mission to the Tang dynasty court that took place in the fifth year of the Zhenguan reign (631). At that time, envoys are documented in historical sources as having come from the states of Poli (Brunei), Luocha ("Lochac"), and Linyi (in Vietnam) to present tribute at the court of the "Great Tang" empire. The forms of the figures are quite dramatic and exaggerated, making for a narrative style that is both "factual" and "imaginative."
This handscroll bears no signature or seals of the artist, but the title slip traditionally has attributed it to the Tang dynasty painter Yan Liben. In Xuanhe Painting Catalogue from the Song dynasty are numerous works listed under Yan's name, and many of them are related to international relations in the Tang dynasty.
