Experiencing two centuries of heyday, Dong Ho painting is considered a fine reflection of the Vietnamese lifestyle in different walks of life. “Dong Ho paintings reflect human beings”, there goes a saying. In fact, one can see in such paintings various vividly-portrayed themes, from historical figures, folk tales and popular stories to daily activities like Đám cưới chuột (Rat’s Wedding Ceremony), Chăn trâu thổi sáo (Herds-boy playing the flute on his buffalo), Đánh ghen (A scene of jealousy) or Hứng dừa (Catching coconuts), etc.
