PURPOSE: Provided are a recording medium suitable for forming a print having texture and image quality of a silver halide photograph by a method of applying droplets of recording liquid such as ink, particularly by an ink-jet recording method, and an image forming method utilizing such recording medium. CONSTITUTION: The ink-jet recording medium comprises a base material and an ink-receiving layer comprising an upper layer containing an aluminum-based pigment and a lower layer containing an aluminum-based pigment having a BET specific surface area larger than that of the aluminum-based pigment contained in said upper layer. Wherein, the BET specific surface area of the aluminum-based pigment contained in the upper layer is within a range of 100 - 160 m/g, and the BET specific surface area of the aluminum-based pigment contained in the lower layer is within a range of 150 - 300 m/g; the aluminum-based pigment contained in the upper layer has an average particle diameter of not less than 150 nm and not exceeding 1 μm.
