This print showcases a mesmerizing mural depicting Mount Meru, created in 1734 by the Siamese School during the Ayutthaya Period. Located at Wat Ko Keo Suttharam in Petchaburi, Thailand, this masterpiece is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the region. Mount Meru holds immense significance in both Hindu and Buddhist cosmology as it is believed to be the epicenter of all physical, metaphysical, and spiritual universes. The intricate details painted on stone beautifully capture its symbolic essence. The image portrays pillars and columns adorned with Buddhism-inspired motifs that lead up to a towering structure resembling a tree. This representation signifies the peak or summit of Mount Meru, where divinity meets earthly existence. Through this photograph taken by eLuca Tettoni and made available by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to witness an era when art flourished under the patronage of ancient Siamese kingdoms.
