Along the Tam Giang lagoon

About the artwork

This landscape painting was painted by artist Le Huu Long at the edge of Tam Giang lagoon in Hue. The landscape in the picture has a bright and harmonious color, with a clear blue sky, with the color of the sea being blue but deep blue, with a large boat moored near the wharf. The boat has a very new paint color, is ready to sail to catch the wind and prepare to set sail. In particular, the picture is dotted with images of people’s close and familiar daily life. It was the wife who was seeing her husband off at the wharf, preparing for the husband’s upcoming journey to sea. The picture both depicts the charming scenery of the homeland, and evokes the faithful, earnest, and salty heart – the friendship between people in the dreamland of Hue.
