EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to Wat Suwannaram in Thonburi, Thailand, in the year 1831. The image showcases a mesmerizing fresco titled "Western Mercenaries" painted by the Thai School during the 19th century Rattanakosin period. The scene depicted is one of intense action and conflict as Western mercenaries confront each other with their weapons drawn. These fearless fighters stand ready for battle, showcasing their expertise in combat. The composition captures every detail of this historic moment, from the mercenaries' determined expressions to the intricate design of their guns. Wat Suwannaram serves as a backdrop for this dramatic painting, adding an air of spirituality and cultural significance to the artwork. The temple's serene atmosphere contrasts sharply with the chaos unfolding within its walls. Through this powerful image, we are transported into a world where East meets West on a battlefield filled with tension and rivalry. It offers us a glimpse into history when different cultures clashed against each other for various reasons. As we admire this remarkable piece captured by photographer Luca Tettoni, it reminds us of how art has always been a medium through which stories are told and preserved across generations. This particular artwork stands as a testament to both artistic skill and historical events that have shaped our world today.
