Somdet Phra Narai (1633 - 11 July 1688) or Somdet Phra Ramathibodi III was the king of Ayutthaya from 1656 to 1688. His reign was the most prosperous during the Ayutthaya period and saw great commercial and diplomatic activities with foreign nations including the Persians and the West. During the latter years of his reign, Narai gave the Greek adventurer Constantine Phaulkon so much power that technically he became the chancellor of the state. Through Phaulkon's arrangements, the Siamese kingdom came into close diplomatic relations with the court of Louis XIV and French soldiers and missionaries filled the Siamese aristocracy and defense. The dominance of French officials led to frictions between them and the native mandarins and led to the turbulent revolution of 1688 towards the end of his reign. Narais reign was also known for a small war with England in 1687 and the invasion of Burmese Lanna in 1662.

Portrait of a Man in Armor with Two Pages. Artist: Paris Bordon (Italian, Treviso 1500-1571 Venice). Dimensions: 46 x 62 in. (116.8 x 157.5 cm).This painting shows a high-ranking officer with two pages, one of whom, an African, holds his helmet while the other fastens the armor on his right arm. It belongs to a long history of portraits of military men in armor, but the extensive landscape background, with stormy skies over the advancing armies, and the mood of melancholy are unique to Bordon. Although we do not know the identity of the sitter, who may have been Milanese, this work was much esteemed in the seventeenth century, when it was sold to Cardinal Leopoldo de' Medici in Florence. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
