《康熙南巡圖》的瑰瑋裝池

此黑漆戧金蓋盒乃為保存《康熙南巡圖》十二卷中之第二卷而製（圖一）。《康熙南巡圖》堪稱是康熙年間製圖規模最大的畫作，此盒不僅展現清宮內務府造辦處漆器工匠的精巧手藝，更具有非凡的歷史意義。可參考第十卷之蓋盒，現存北京故宮博物院，圖可見於《金相玉質─清代宮廷包裝藝術》，澳門藝術博物館，澳門，2000年，編號1（圖二）。圖錄中指，北京故宮畫盒製於乾隆年間，相信乃弘曆珍藏其祖父康熙帝之南巡而御製的。書中（頁68）記載盒的內槽外側裝有銅銷，與盒蓋內側的凹槽相吻合，可將盒蓋緊密鎖上。故宮博物院所藏蓋盒之形狀與紋飾皆與本品相同，可知康熙南巡圖的十二個蓋盒應是一模一樣，且應同製於乾隆年間。這樣來說，或可理解故宮畫盒與本品一樣，上均貼有寫「康熙爺」的舊標籤。

值得一提的是，此蓋盒本應是存放於紫禁城內壽皇殿。《康熙南巡圖‧第六卷》於香港蘇富比2010年4月8日售出，編號1824，聶崇正研究該作品後指出，凡是畫面上繪有皇帝肖像的作品，清朝時應當都存放在北京紫禁城以北皇城內景山之壽皇殿中。更多資訊可參考聶崇正，〈觀康熙南巡圖第六卷殘本〉，香港蘇富比2010年4月8日拍賣圖錄，頁92-95。

本拍品紋飾為優雅而華美的「戧金」技法，康熙漆器中使用此技法者非常稀少。戧金技巧做法是在漆器上用工具刻出紋飾，在刻痕內再填入金箔、金粉，令刻在漆器上的花紋呈現金色。此技法盛行於元朝及明初，也有記錄顯示1406-1433年間，中國贈與日本的宮廷禮物中含有戧金漆器。這顯示御製藝品曾使用此技法，且延用至早清康熙年間。有趣的是，用以保存《乾隆南巡圖》的漆盒並非在宮內製造，而是由朝廷下令蘇州織造經辦製作。可參考一剔紅漆雕蓋盒，約乾隆四十一年（1776）為保存《乾隆南巡圖》而製，現藏紐約大都會藝術博物館，錄於方聞及屈志仁，《中華瑰寶》，紐約，1996年，圖177。

《康熙南巡圖》由宮廷畫師王翬（1632-1717年）領銜主繪，全圖共有十二卷，每卷長十至二十米不等，描繪康熙二十八年的南巡盛事。康熙二十八年正月，康熙皇帝展開第二次南巡，歷時七十一天，到訪泰山、長江、黃河、南方運河及重鎮。朝中官員歌頌是次南巡十分成功，讓康熙一償心願視察運河水道、風土人情及地方政治。南巡的主要目的，實則在於鞏固滿清政府對長江三角洲地區漢人的管轄勢力。南巡期間康熙視察諸多官方典禮，以圖對明朝遺民及南方仕人顯示皇權。

《康熙南巡圖》第二卷現藏巴黎吉美博物館，描繪的是康熙皇帝在山東省境內，從平原縣至濟南府的旅途。全卷長1377公分，出巡隊伍有軍隊、挑夫、官員，浩浩蕩蕩駕臨濟南。山東省至今仍為中國最重要且景色最秀麗的省份之一，泰山更是歷代君王所崇仰的聖山。《康熙南巡圖‧第三卷》現存紐約大都會藝術博物館，所描繪的正是康熙皇帝從濟南至泰山的路途。

王翬乃清初六大家其一，擅繪山水，畫風精鍊而細膩。康熙三十一年（1692），王翬受命主繪南巡圖，他巧妙地將整個旅途設計分繪於十二畫卷，並由一群畫師合力完成，歷時六年。完成後康熙皇帝御筆親書「山水清輝」四字讚辭，王翬後因此自號「清輝主人」。
