EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 19th century Thai painting depicts Siddhartha Gautama, the historical Buddha, surrounded by his two esteemed disciples, Sariputta and Moggalana. The Buddha, with his serene expression and noble posture, is seated in the center, in a full-length pose. The two disciples, Sariputta on the left and Moggalana on the right, are shown standing respectfully with their hands raised in reverence. Their piousness and spiritual power are evident in their focused gazes and tranquil demeanor. Sariputta and Moggalana were early followers of the Buddha and are revered in Buddhist tradition for their great wisdom and enlightenment. They are often depicted flanking the Buddha and paying homage to him. In this painting, two celestial hermits also pay their respects at the top, adding to the sacred atmosphere of the scene. The use of vibrant pigments on wood is characteristic of Thai painting from the 19th century, particularly during the Rattanakosin period. The rich colors and intricate details of this artwork reflect the cultural heritage of Southeast Asia and the deep spiritual significance of Buddhism in the region. This painting is a testament to the enduring influence of Buddhism in Asia and the artistic traditions that have evolved around it. It invites us to reflect on the teachings of the Buddha and the devotion of his followers, both past and present.
