Because art comes from love and faith, no matter how many hundreds of years have passed, the art of the Rattanakosin era is still engraved in the memory. And there are many important moments that are recorded in history to this day. "Baan Sri Wiang" is another destination that combines art in terms of architecture and decoration that also has stories of the Rattanakosin era. The change of beauty to the Rattanakosin era In the early Rattanakosin era since the reign of King Rama I, it was the revival of the model from the Ayutthaya era that was destroyed to create many works such as castles, palaces and temples by gathering the best craftsmen to become the Grand Palace, Wat Phra Si Rattana Satsadaram. The painting continues the Thai tradition on the walls. Paintings from stories in Buddhism, images of angels, images of life and beliefs in that era. The highest glory occurred in the reign of King Rama III with murals in the chapel and the temple, which were influenced by Chinese art mixed in from trade with China at that time. The turning point of Thai art and the Western world, if talking about art in the middle of the Rattanakosin era, occurred in the reign of King Rama IV after contact with the Western nations. It was the starting point of the development of both traditions, culture and various types of art. “Khrua In Khong”, the great painter of King Rama IV, was the first artist to use Western mural painting techniques. The images are three-dimensional, near and far, and use light and shadow to completely hide the grace of Thainess. Khrua In Khong’s natural paintings use harmonious colors, creating images that are alive and moving. He was an artist who was ordained as a monk and had many respected disciples. The architecture changed from wooden houses to brick houses, Thai-Chinese style, and imitating Westerners more. Modern art has been created as a part of life since the reigns of King Rama V-VI. The knowledge and design of architecture is quite clear that it is influenced by the West, especially the arrival of the colonial style by Italian designers. When colonial architecture was adapted to fit the climate of Bangkok, it created a unique identity until today with the building structure and fretwork on the walls, windows, or balconies. And if you are looking for memories from the beauty and grace of past art designs, “Baan Sri Wiang” is a warm place where you can experience the atmosphere of Thai colonial style, going back to the R.S. 130 era in the area that became the center of Bangkok. This is a home built with love and ready to pass on this heart to everyone. Coming to Baan Sriwiang will be another one of the few experiences where you can create history together with us.
