Painting exhibition showcases masterpieces from the Netherlands
The exhibition is being presented to Vietnamese art lovers
in the form of electronic and printed slideshows
from the 26th of May to the 11th of June.
It is being jointly organised by the Embassy of the Netherlands in Vietnam,
the National Museum of the Netherlands
and the Vietnam National Fine Arts Museum
in celebration of the 50th anniversary of Vietnam-Netherlands diplomatic ties.
In the framework of this special year,
we really wanted to bring some of the best masterpieces
that the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam has to offer to Vietnam
so Vietnamese audiences can experience for themselves
how unique Dutch culture and Dutch painting masterpieces are.
This is the first time that popular Dutch classic works
dating back to the 15th to 19th centuries
have been showcased in Vietnam,
offering the public a rare opportunity
to learn more about Dutch people, landscapes, and culture.
The technology used in the exhibition
contributes to maximising the effect of the masterpieces,
providing a wonderful experience for the audience.
European classic works are timeless masterpieces
that transcend centuries.
Featuring five themes,
landscape, still life, portrait, genre art, and spiritual realm,
the exhibition recreates and interprets light in Dutch art history,
revealing how it reflects changes in the human perception of reality.
