阎次平，南宋画家。隆兴初（约1163年）任画院祗候，授将仕郎。父仲，曾任宣和及绍兴画院待诏。继承家学，而画艺超过其父。擅绘山水，法荆浩、关仝，风格接近王诜、李唐；亦善人物，尤工画牛。存世作品有《牧牛图》等。

弟次于，南宋孝宗隆兴初被补为承务郎，后亦为画院祗候。次于亦传家学，画山水人物，工于画牛。然水平尚逊于次平。

自古以来，无论是高僧还是文人、隐士，大多喜欢以山林作为他们修行、习业、陶冶性灵的地方。这是因为在山居的岁月里，人们不仅可以远离尘世的纷扰，又可以在山林湖泽间，过着恬适自在的生活。这幅描绘着古代禅林精舍（或书院）的「松磴精庐」里，或许是清晨的缘故，因此未见任何人影。但错落有致的屋宇、羊肠的小径，紧密随着地形顺势围筑、游转，彷佛已成为山林的一部份。游息其间，可令人充份地享受浸润于自然山林的乐趣。
