| 摘要 | The exuberant wall paintings found in the Buddhist temples of Thailand enchant the eye and spirit with their subtle color，lyrical line and vivid depiction of mythological and secular scenes inspired by ancient texts. These little-known masterpieces, reproduced here in exquisite detail，speak to us across the centuries with joy，humor and grace." "Santi Leksukhum's text traces the complex history of these paintings. It examines the development of their distinctive style，from the arrival of Buddhism，to the overwhelming influence of the royal workshops of Bangkok to the incorporation of Western techniques as Thailand opened to the West in the mid-nineteenth century." The renowned French photographer Gilles Mermet made several expeditions to Thailand to photograph these magnificent murals especially for the volume. An appendix recounts the major Buddhist texts, including the Three Worlds, the Ten Great Jatakas, or birth tales and the Life of the Historical Buddha. In addition，there is a map showing the location of the major temples and a glossary." Temples of Gold presents an intricate and subtle art form as practiced over seven centuries in celebration of one of the world's great religions. It will fascinate art lovers, students of Buddhism，cultural historians, armchair travelers and all who want to enter the enchanted world of a rarely seen civilization. |
