EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing Ramakien performance, depicted through an exquisite wall painting. The scene takes place in the Ordination Hall of Wat Benchamabophit, located in the vibrant city of Bangkok, Thailand. The Ramakien is Thailand's national epic, derived from the Indian Ramayana and holds immense cultural significance. This particular artwork belongs to the Bangkok Period or Kingdom of Siam (1782-1932), representing a rich era in Thai history. The mural captures a theatrical spectacle with actors portraying various mythological characters and deities. Suspended above them is a traverse showcasing performers skillfully maneuvering chariots while monkeys roam around energetically. The attention to detail on this traditional piece is truly remarkable. As we gaze at this photograph, we can almost feel the electric atmosphere created by the crowd gathered to witness this grand performance unfold before their eyes. Amongst them stands an audience captivated by every movement and gesture on stage. Notably, a white elephant symbolizing divine power adds an aura of mystique to the scene. This Gesamtkunstwerk perfectly combines elements of painting and theater into one harmonious composition. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this momentous display of Thai culture and mythology through their lens, allowing us to appreciate its splendor for generations to come.
