冷枚是历经康、雍、乾三朝的宫廷画家,但记载其生平的资料极少见。本文结合新发现的王沛恂《匡山集》和《冷氏族谱》等文献,对冷枚的生卒年、师承关系、家族构成和生活状况等进行了新的考证:第一,冷枚的生卒年当在1661-1743,享年八十二岁;第二,冷枚在清宫除了师从焦秉贞学画外,还可能与顾见龙学习了一段时间,其“金门画史”的别号即袭用自顾见龙;第三,冷枚是元末明初时胶州人物画家冷超岩的后人,有子三人,为冷鉴、冷铨和冷鏏,而不是一般认为的二人(冷鉴、冷铨);第四,冷枚出身低微,虽为皇帝作画,但终生清贫,很难融入当时的文人文化圈,因此导致他在画史上某种程度的缺席。 Cold is the palace painter after Kang, Yong, and three dynasties, but records of his life are rare. Based on the newly discovered Wang Pei-jing’s Kuang Shan Ji and Leng’s Genealogy, this article carries out a new research on the birth and death, relationship between teachers and families, family composition and living conditions of the Cold Plaque. First, Death year when 1661-1743, at the age of 82 years; second, cold in the Qing Palace in addition to learning from Jiao Bingzhen learn painting, but also may Gu Gu Long learning for a period of time, the No. 3 refers to the self-seeing dragon. Third, the cold one is the descendants of the Jiaozhou figure painter Leng Chao-yan during the Yuan Dynasty and the early Ming Dynasty. There are three subordinates, namely, Lengjian, Lengquan and Lengxian, rather than the generally considered two (Lengjian and Lengquan). Fourthly, the cold plaques were of low origin. Although they painted for the emperor, they were poor for life and difficult to integrate into the literati cultural circle of the time. As a result, they were absent in the history of painting.
