VTV.vn - The traditional beauty of Vietnamese women left a deep impression on early 20th century Indochinese fine arts.

Most paintings at that time honored young and slender women clad in ao dai, positioned beside flowers. Their charm and elegance was depicted through a soft complexion, dreamy eyes and graceful gestures.

Unlike his contemporaries, Nguyen Phan Chanh fell in love with the rustic and simple beauty of rural women. On the occasion of Vietnamese Women's Day, let's discover more of this beauty in the works of painter Nguyen Phan Chanh, a great artist of modern Vietnamese silk painting.
