《放鹤洲图》轴,明项圣谟绘,绢本,设色,纵65.5cm,横53.7cm。
自题篆书:“鹤洲秋帆”,款识:“此洲即唐时裴公美别业放鹤洲也。在吾禾鸳央(鸯)湖畔,荒废久之。朱葵石复筑,以浚以树,将四十年,宛若深山盘涧。今癸巳九月,招余再泛,有诗有录,为补是图以纪其胜。林泉之乐,不过是矣。登高后五日,书于郎云堂。项圣谟。”钤“上下千古中人”印。左下角钤“项氏圣谟”,“项孔彰诗书画”印。
此图是项圣谟为友人朱葵石所画的一件作品。放鹤洲在嘉兴鸳鸯湖畔,唐代著名宰相裴休曾在此建造别墅,但久已荒废。朱葵石在其遗址上疏浚河道,广植树木,重新再造。清顺治十年(1653年),朱葵石请项圣谟来别墅作客,他们泛舟湖上,饮酒赋诗,尽情享受林泉之乐,作品正是为纪念他们这一次相会而创作的。
画面上,纵横交错的河道将田畴、村庄分割,农民往来耕作于其间,反映了长江下游低湿地带的风貌。画面左中部树木葱茏茂密,其间设置桥梁、屋宇、亭子、假山石和备用的画舫等,正是别墅所在地。画面左下端有寺庙宝塔,上端城墙蜿蜒,则是嘉兴城。别墅与周围的环境融为一体,布置讲究,而建筑并不炫耀豪华。项圣谟的这件作品不但写实,而且表现出中国文人崇尚自然,即“仁者乐山,智者乐水”的思想。

Self-titled seal book: "Autumn sail of Hezhou", paragraph: "This continent is the Tang Dynasty Pei Gong Mei other industry Fanghezhou also. In Wuhe Yuanyang (Yuanyang) lakeside, abandoned for a long time. Jukuishi stone will be built again to dredge trees for forty years, just like a deep mountain. Today, in September, there are many poems and records, which are supplemented by Ji Qisheng. The joy of Lin Quan is nothing more than that. Five days after climbing the mountain, the book was written in Langyuntang. Xiang Shengmo." Jun "Up and Down the Middle Ages" Seal. In the lower left corner, Jun printed "Xiangshi Shengmo" and "Xiangkong Zhang's Poetry, Calligraphy and Painting".
This picture is a painting by Xuan Shengmo for his friend Zhu Kuishi. Fanghezhou is on the Bank of Yuanyang Lake in Jiaxing. Peixiu, the famous Prime Minister of Tang Dynasty, built a villa here, but it has been abandoned for a long time. Zhukuishi dredged rivers, planted trees and rebuilt them on its site. In 1653, Zhu Kuishi invited Sangmolei Villa as a guest. They went boating on the lake, drank and wrote poems, and enjoyed the pleasure of Lin Quan. The works were created to commemorate their meeting.
In the picture, the crisscrossing river divides fields and villages, and farmers cultivate them, reflecting the features of the low wetland zone in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. The left middle part of the picture is covered with lush trees. Bridges, houses, pavilions, rockeries and spare paintings are set up in the middle, which is where the villa is located. At the bottom left of the picture, there are temples and pagodas, and at the top, the walls are winding, which is Jiaxing City. Villas and the surrounding environment are integrated, well-laid out, and the building does not show off luxury. This work by Xiang Shengmo is not only realistic, but also shows that Chinese literati advocate nature, that is, "benevolent people like mountains, wise people like water".
