Northern Thai (Thai styles, Thai (culture or style), ... Styles and Periods (hierarchy name))

 

Note: Refers to a style associated with the northern region of Thailand. Artistic production in this style primarily deals with the wood carving arts and features teak figures of Brahmanical and Hindu gods and of Buddhist images. Sculptures and carvings were often inlaid with mother-of-pearl or glass mosaics. The style is driven by the desire to intermingle animal, plant, and human life, evincing a detailed, exuberant blend of myth and realism. From this distinctive art, stylistic contradictions emerged, evidenced by sculptural figures of menacing demon entities doubling as guardian beings and by rigid geometric patterns set amidst designs of fanciful creatures on wooden relief panels. The most dramatic example in this style are the grandiose wooden royal barges and royal funeral chariots, both completely gilded constructions with mythical serpents and ornamental floral designs.

Additional Notes:
Chinese (traditional) ..... 指與泰國北部地區相關的風格。此風格的主要藝術作品是木雕藝術,其中又以婆羅門教與印度教神祇,以及佛陀的柚木雕像最具特色。雕刻與木雕多半鑲嵌有珍珠母或玻璃馬賽克。此風格的產生是希望能融合動植物與人類生活,呈現描繪細緻且豐富地加以混和神話與寫實主義的風格。此特殊的藝術風格影產生了一些矛盾的的風格呈現,例如:既是具有威脅性的惡魔亦是守護神的雕像、以嚴格的幾何圖案搭配神話生物的木製浮雕板等。此風格最特別的例子是宏偉的木製王室駁船以及王室喪葬車,兩者都是全部鍍金的結構,並有神話中的大毒蛇與植物花卉裝飾的設計。 
Dutch ..... Verwijst naar een stijl die wordt geassocieerd met de noordelijke regio van Thailand. De kunstzinnige productie in deze stijl omvat hoofdzakelijk houtsnijwerk, met name beelden van uit teakhout gesneden brahmaanse goden en hindoegoden, alsmede boeddhistische beelden. Het beeldhouwwerk en het beeldsnijwerk zijn vaak ingelegd met paarlemoer of glasmozaïek. Uit de stijl spreekt de behoefte om dierlijk, plantaardig en menselijk leven te combineren, hetgeen resulteert in een detailrijk, overdadig mengsel van mythologische en realistische elementen. Er komen ook stilistische tegenstellingen in naar voren, bijvoorbeeld in de sculpturale figuren van dreigende demonische wezens die tevens een beschermende wachterfunctie hebben, en in het aanbrengen van strakke geometrische patronen te midden van fantasiewezens op houten reliëfpanelen. De meest opvallende voorbeelden van deze stijl zijn wel de imposante houten koninklijke staatsiesloepen en koninklijke rouwkoetsen, beide volledig verguld en versierd met mythologische slangen en ornamentele bloemmotieven. 
Spanish ..... Se refiere a un estilo asociado con la región de Tailandia del norte. La producción artística en este estilo principalmente se relaciona con artes de madera talladas y presenta figuras de teca de Brahmanical y dioses hindús e imágenes budistas. Esculturas y tallados eran a menudo incrustados con nácar o mosaicos de vidrio. El estilo está inspirado en el deseo de entremezclar vida animal, vegetal y humana, demostrando una mezcla minuciosa y exuberante de mito y realismo. De este arte característico, surgieron contradicciones estilísticas, evidenciadas por figuras escultóricas dobles de amenazante entidades demoniacas como seres guardianes y por modelos geométricos rígidos puestos en medio de diseños de criaturas fantásticas en paneles de relieve de madera. El ejemplo más dramático en este estilo son las grandiosas barcazas reales de madera y los carros fúnebres reales, ambas estructuras completamente doradas con serpientes míticas y diseños florales ornamentales.
