狩野派 狩野探幽 Kano School - Kano Tanyu

京都国立博物館で行われた、桃山時代の狩野派、という展覧会の最後を飾ったのは、狩野探幽だった。

探幽は、狩野孝信の長男として慶長7年、1602年に生まれた。

母は、豊臣秀吉に仕えた武将の佐々成政の娘と言われるが、佐々成政は九州の治世に失敗し、秀吉に切腹を命じられている。

武将の娘が、絵師の長男と結婚するという状況が、当時あったということは興味深い。

この展覧会では、探幽の作品は、5点が展示されていた。

二条城に描かれた、松に孔雀図壁貼付・襖は、形の異なる2つと4つの襖を通して、巨大な松とその脇に佇む孔雀を描いている。

松はダイナミックに、すべての面にその勇壮な枝を張っている。

探幽というと、ダイナミックな永徳に比べて、上品で瀟洒な絵風で知られるが、この松は永徳に負けない迫力。

そして、その左に佇む鶴は、スッと首を上げて、まるで一人の英雄のように、頭を振って遠くを見つめている。

孔雀の美しい羽や顔の文様は、実に丹念に写実的に描かれており、大雑把にダイナミックに描かれている巨大な松との対比が素晴らしい。

探幽の時代に、徳川幕府の御用絵師として確固たる位置を確保した狩野派は、探幽の弟の安信を後継者として、その後、江戸幕府が滅亡するまで、ずっと御用絵師として、繁栄を迎えることになった。

京都に生まれた、狩野派という名の部族は、その一部は京都にとどまり続けたが、時代の流れに合わせて、江戸にその本拠を移し、その地で部族として生き続けた。
