THE VALUE OF THE FOUR SEASONS' MOTIF IN THE ART OF NGUYEN DYNASTY, APPLICATION IN RECENT TRAINING AND HERITAGE CONSERVATION IN VIETNAM

Art under the time of Nguyen Dynasty (1802 - 1945) had gone through a long history and formed typical artistic values of royal architecture in the land of Thua Thien Hue province – Vietnam, demonstrating distinctive and unique aesthetic values in terms of history, culture and art. The study of art under the time of Nguyen Dynasty in general and the decorative art using four seasons' motif in particular are those of the issues that need to be paid attention to in the conservation of cultural heritage. This is also the basis and the foundation for effective learning, teaching and creative activities at current Vietnamese Universities of Art.
