Buddha Images and Sculptures in the Age of Rattanakosin
Sculpture is defined as a casting and molding to form an object. In the early day, sculptures were mostly built to represent important people, which sometimes were created from the imagination of a caster such as the cast of the Lord Buddha images. Casters had to read ancient scriptures in order to be able to form face, shape, and posture of the Lord Buddha closely.
In the early age of Rattanakosin, King   Buddha Yodfa Chulalok, the King Rama I, was the person who began the process of rebuilding the cities due to the destruction performed by Burmese. In this period, the King Rama I had collected important Buddha images from other provinces and enshrined them in Bangkok. For example, the image of Phra Sri Sakayamunee was taken and moved by raft from Wat Mahathat, Sukhothai province. The image of Phra Sri Sakayamunee was a very big sculpture built by a famous caster named Phra Thewa Rangsan.
Later on, Somdet   Phra Buddha Loetla Nabhalai, the King Rama II, renovated many artistic buildings and sculptures especially, for example, he ordered casters to mold beautiful statues named Phraya Rakyai Raknoi, Phra Lak and Phra Ram. In the present, these statues are placed in the national museum. In addition, the King Rama II also ordered the casters to sculpt two important Buddha images named Phra Buddha Jurarak enshrined in Buddhist church of Wat Ratchasit Tharam and Phra Buddha Sittharam enshrined in Buddhist church of Wat Arun Rajwararam . Moreover, he ordered sculptors to carve the door of the main religious hall in Wat Sutat Thepwararam into plant and animal patterns.
When it came to the reign of the King Rama III, Phra Bath somdej Phra Nang   Klao Chaoyuhua ordered sculptors to build principle Buddha images. For example, the sculpture of the principle Buddha image named Phra Phuttri Lokkachet enshrined in the church of Wat Sutat Thepwararam, Phra Phutta Setmuni enshrined in the church of Wat Ratchanatdaram and Phra Phutta Maha Loka Phi Nanta Patima enshrined in the church of Wat Cha Learm Phra Kiat.
Additionally, he ordered sculptors to build reclining Buddha image with 90 cubits long in the church of Wat Phra Chettuphon Wimon Mangkhalaram, and standing Buddha image with the king costume enshrined in the temple of emerald Buddha in order to memorialize his grandfather and father. To sculpt theses Buddha images, he used bronze and gold as components and decorated them with diamonds. He named these two Buddha images as Buddha Yodfa Chulalok and Phra Buddha Loetla Nabhalai .
Since the reign of Phrabat Somdet Phra   Chom Klao Chao Yu Hua , the King Rama IV, there have been many more sculptures sculpted to represent important people. For instance, the statue of Somdej   Phra Wannarat and Chao   Phraya   Bodin Decha were sculpted and enshrined near a small pagoda in Wat Chakkrawat Rachawat or Wat Sampluem. Sculpting these statues was under supervision of ‘Phra Phutthajan Ma' who was the abbot of the temple at that time.
Afterwards, when the news of the death of Chao   Phraya   Bodin Decha was known by the prince of Cambodia whose name was Ong Harirak or Ong Duang, he built a small foundry at the army site by Wat Pho Tharam in Udon Michai province (old capital city of Cambodia). To show an honor for Chao   Phraya   Bodin Decha , the prince of Cambodia requested Cambodian monks who specialized in sculpting to form the statue of Chao   Phraya   Bodin Decha and enshrined as a monument. The monument was made by stucco and called by Cambodians as ‘Roop Ongbodin Thara'. The statue of Chao   Phraya   Bodin Decha was finished in 1849 and it became a model of sculpture for Thai people later on.
Thereafter, the King Rama IV started his project to sculpt a statue in western style first time in Thailand. He ordered a famous sculptor named ‘Luang Thep Rotjana' or ‘Phlap' and Phraya Jinda Rangsan to mold the statue. This sculpture was created to represent the King himself but reproduced and modified from the old statue that was modeled by western sculptors. After the statue was completely casted, it has been enshrined in Weyan Wichain Prasart throne – hall, Phra Nakhon Khiri, Petchaburi province until now. In addition, many statues of the King Rama IV have presently been sculpted and enshrined in Phra Tamnak Petch throne – hall at Wat Bowon Niwet Wihan and in Phra Jom hall at Wat Ratcha Pradit, Bangkok.
As pointed out above, the old style of sculptures has gradually developed to become more modern in the present. A sculpture of a Buddha image in the current period is not as big as in the age of King Rama III and the physical characteristics of a modern Buddha image are more similar to a human, with more realistic rope and costume. Some examples of modern design of Buddha images are Phra Samphuttha Phanni, Phra Niran Tarai and Phra Phuttha Sihing Kha Patima.
Another example of modern Buddha image is a standing Buddha with the attitude of persuading the relatives not to quarrel. This standing Buddha was enshrined in the church of Wat Ratchapradit. It is one of the Buddha images whose rope looks very realistic.
Another famous sculpture worshiped by Thai people is the idol of god named ‘Phra Siam Thewathirat' created by Phra Ongchao Pradit Worakan. It is a small idol made from gold with eight feet high. Its physical characteristics are very magnificent.
The most magnificent sculpture in the early Rattanakosin period was Phra Rattana. It was casted of bronze and gold, decorated with the king costume. It was one of the valuable sculptures in the history of Thailand.
Rattanakosin Kingdom is the fourth traditionally counted kingdom of Thailand. It was founded in 1782 with the establishment of Bangkok as the capital city. Technically, the name continues to refer to present-day Thailand, but this article will attempt to discuss events up until 1932, when absolute monarchy was abolished, and continue at history of Thailand (1932–1973). The maximum territorial extent of Rattanakosin Kingdom included vassal states of Cambodia, Laos, and some Malay kingdoms. The kingdom was founded by King Buddha Yodfa Chulaloke of the Chakri Dynasty. The first half of this period was a time of consolidation of the kingdom's power, and was punctuated by periodic conflicts with Burma, Vietnam and Laos. The later period was one of engagement with colonial powers of Britain and France, in which Siam managed to be the only southeast Asian nation to escape European colonialism. Internally the kingdom developed into a modern centralised nation state with borders defined by its interaction with the Western powers. Significant economic and social progress was made, with an increase in foreign trade, the abolition of slavery and the expansion of education to the emerging middle class.
However, there was no substantial political reform until the absolute monarchy was replaced in a revolution in 1932 by the constitutional monarchy.
