All the oil paintings were created by artist Tran The Vinh, a graduate of Hue Fine Arts University.
The portraits feature late composers Van Cao and Trinh Cong Son, and late poets Bui Giang and Hoang Cam, and Vinh's teacher, artist Vinh Phoi.
The collection also highlights Vietnam’s top intellectuals such as philosopher Tran Duc Thao, writer and linguist Nguyen Hien Le, scholar Phan Khoi, and journalist Nguyen Huu Dang.
The 34-year-old artist spent two years (2018-19) completing his collection.
Vinh, a native of Quang Tri province, took part in several group exhibitions in Hue from 2005-2010.
The exhibition will close on November 1. The venue is at 1 Ngo Thoi Nhiem Street in District 3.
