Tran Luu Hau, one of the eldest and renown Vietnamese masters, loves his native Hanoi but is equally at home in Sapa, in the north of Vietnam.

It’s here, high in the mountains where Tran Luu, born 1928, has spent many of his summers, away from the heat of the city. Particularly his series of nude paintings and sketches done here over the years represent to many the best work ever done by the artist..
