贵州贵阳人。字山子、龙友，号陈龙、鹤巢、雪盦，少怀壮志，学兼文武，善书画，有文采，万历末期举于乡。此后屡试不第，崇祯七年（1634）华亭教谕，后迁青田、永嘉、江宁知县。弘光元年任右佥都御史、巡抚镇(州)常(州)二府，监郑鸿逵、郑彩军，隆武元年(1645年)任兵部侍郎,提督军务，次年8月清兵入闽，被执不屈而死，举家三十馀口全部罹难。著作有《山水移》《洵美堂诗集》《崇祯八大家诗选·杨文骢卷》,以及近年编辑出版的《杨文骢书画集》。
杨文骢卓才绝艺,皆因他的诗、书、画三绝,还有精于骑射。杨文骢的诗作传世的有《洵美堂诗集》,刻于崇祯十五年,而9年前夏云鼎编选刊刻《崇祯八大家诗选》时,列杨文骢为一家。杨文骢的诗多抒写忧时爱国、师友骨肉之情,对山水丘壑的迷恋,热情满怀,慷慨激烈,正如他的好友陈子龙所言:“龙友诗有幽峭之思,沉郁之色,壮烈而不失平和,夷旷而中存庄雅。”他的文也非常出色,尤其是游记。崇祯三年刊刻的诗文画合集《山水移》中,收《台荡日记》八千馀言,堪称上乘之作,白坚先生说其“镕名山奇景、掌故传说、风土人情于一炉,奇情叠现,妙绪纷呈,诗情画意充溢于字里行间,耐人寻味,引人入胜”。
       杨文骢的画名比诗名更盛,吴梅村作《画中九友》诗,故被称为”画中九友”之一。对他的画,当时的画坛名士多有崇评,记载累累。秦懋德将他与当时的大家董其昌相提并论:“余偶以诗画自娱,谬荷海内诸名公许可,每论此中三味,必推龙友与华亭董宗伯并驱中原,眼前馀子,鲜见其匹也,是岂阿私所好哉?试叩之此图,当自应声而出。”
       董其昌的评价也很高:“杨龙友生于贵筑,独破天荒,所作台宕等图,有宋人之骨力去其结,有元人之风韵去其佻,余讶以为出入巨然、惠崇之间,观止矣。”他爱南京栖霞山风物，曾读书山中，暇时常登峰顶，眺望长江。数年后，回忆这段生活，曾绘《江中望栖霞》，并题咏其上，以抒怀念之情。

《明杨文骢仿倪瓒山水图》是明代画家杨文骢的作品。该画构图富有特色。画面的左侧是一带连绵的山坡和断涯，右侧是大片浩淼的水域。该幅画上画家运枯笔焦墨，笔墨虽枯而腴润，颇似黄公望的画法。
       《明杨文骢仿倪瓒山水图》仿倪瓒山水“一河两岸式”的布局，视点由近及远。图的下半部是前景的描绘：近处缓坡上疏林参差，孤亭临水而立，山石以侧锋折笔带皴擦画就。隔着江水，上半部表现的是中远景山貌：主体的一组山峦间有一瀑布，左右的山势起伏环抱，并以披麻皴法营造出高耸圆浑之气势。全画颇具倪瓒遗意，其笔法、墨法显然取自董、巨二人，呈现着用笔尖劲，清淡疏秀的特点。这在刘珏的山水画中，属于清寂淡雅的一路。此图选取一河开出两岸，将河的空白之虚构成两岸的遥望关系，从而拓展了山水画的表现空间，不仅给人以辽阔、空远的感觉，同时，还唤起观者对画中自然之境的向往。《仿倪瓒山水图》用笔苍劲，墨色淡雅、冷峻静谧的江南风景。和作者深厚的文人修养，浑然一体。

       《高士临流图》是一幅颇得逸趣的作品。杨文骢为晚明著名画家，字龙友，原籍贵州，客籍金陵（南京），万历47年举人，官至兵部右侍郎。他与弘光朝辅臣马士英为亲戚，幷于马士英中进士之年中了举人，随著马士英的当权而步入仕途。然而在清军大兵压境之时，马士英捆绑财宝仓皇南逃，杨文骢则率军抵抗至战败，被俘后不降而死。杨文骢善交游，与当时文人多有结谊。擅书法尤善行书，所书有清俊之气，甚为时人喜爱。绘画则得吴伟业褒奖，名列“画中九友”之一。《高士临流图》以干笔淡墨绘山水，画面清润，云水交合，画中一长者徜徉山水间，状若觅诗，作品富溢文人逸气。上方有长题，乃一则美文，是以比兴之法对画中人物作赞美。画为“士安词盟”作，未署作年，作画地点为“醉李舟中”。“士安”何人不得而知，但既为“词盟”，即使不是杨文骢的复社盟友，也一定是杨文骢敬重的志同道合的文友，这从长题中可以得到证明。醉李则在浙江桐乡，那是江南水乡的腹地。醉李本作檇李，是一种嘉木，结实为果中珍品，成熟时色红味鲜，啄一小孔，插一细管可以吸食，是其与其它李子不同之处。因其味让人陶醉，所以檇李又叫醉李，乡人以之代指地名，从此这方水土名扬天下。当年浙江嘉兴、桐乡一带，水网比今日发达，苏、锡、常，杭、嘉、湖就是因为四通八达的水网连成一片，乡人出行，非舟莫行。文人们最爱乘舟出游江南，所以醉李又是文人兴会的地方，尤其是每年七、八月份的果熟时节，文人们纷纷前往，品醉李，吟诗作画，不亦乐乎。明中期的吴门画家们就喜欢去那里，明末时候，杨文骢的朋友蓝瑛也常去那里，幷于“醉李舟中”寄兴丹青，他的名作《江皋话古图轴》就是在“醉李舟中”所作。《高士临流图》水墨纸本，纵135.5厘米，横49.5厘米，品相完好，民国时归藏知名收藏家秦通理，右下角“颐椿庐秦通理藏书画印”即为其所钤。
