EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of art known as "Sama Jataka" originating from Thailand at the end of the 18th and beginning of the 19th century. Created by the talented Thai School, this painting beautifully depicts an important story from Buddhist mythology. In this artwork, we witness Sama, a young man disguised as a poor individual who valiantly fights for his blind parents. Tragically, he is accidentally killed by a king during their encounter. To make amends for his unintended act, the remorseful king offers to take Sama's place in order to fulfill his duties towards his parents. The future Buddha intervenes in this poignant tale and agrees to bring Sama back to life so that he can continue supporting his beloved parents. The vibrant colors on canvas breathe life into this profound narrative, showcasing both sorrow and redemption. Photographed by eSylvain Collet with great attention to detail, this image captures every brushstroke and intricate element of the painting. It serves as a powerful symbol of devotion within Buddhism while reflecting upon themes such as sacrifice and compassion. As we delve into this mesmerizing artwork, let us appreciate its historical significance and immerse ourselves in its rich cultural heritage found within Thai artistry.
