Launched via the museum’s official website https://vnfam.vn/ and its Facebook page, the exhibition will introduce online visitors to 25 paintings and sketches on Hanoi in various media of lacquer, oil painting, silk, water colour, and wood carving.
The artworks recapture the atmosphere of the capital city during the historical resistance war against foreign invaders as well as the exciting air on its liberation day through the strokes of celebrated painters such as Le Thanh Duc, Nguyen Quang Phong, Trinh Huu Ngoc, and Tran Khanh Chuong.
Hanoi’s natural charm is also highlighted through paintings by Nguyen Tu Nghiem, Tran Van Can, and Tran Dinh Tho.
