Author Kaldenbach lecturing in front of Vermeer
Dutch Art Historian opens up his great digital collection of photos, taken in Fine Art Museums all over the world.
Distance Learning at its best. Learn more about art using Zoom. Photos have been taken in the last 20 years of museum visits. Make and appointment to look through these files together, share commentary and see the best of the best works of art worldwide.
At the moment, most museums in the world are either closed or very limited in entry. That is a rough, troublesome time for us art-lovers. But this is also the perfect moment to learn more about a a number of western painters, art schools, era’s etc. I can guide you digitally through many, many art museums on Zoom. With the help of my 10.000+ image bank of my own photographs.
I am open to your suggestions about the theme or artists you wish to enter into.
Take this unique chance to learn more about culture and art and briefly “get out” of your home.
Join me and learn more about art history, a painter or era. Just make an appointment for a day and a time. Enjoy your own class or join friends/family/colleagues. Send me an email at kalden@xs4all.nl, so we can schedule a time and date.

There are nine different Powerpoint presentations on Vermeer, Rembrandt, Van Gogh. Van der Weyden. Caravaggio! Especially for your Zoom time at home. Want to learn something else? I can tailor a digital tour specifically to your needs.
Ideally Fine Art is about Sharing stories – and it may yield Consolation, Beauty, Understanding and Wisdom.
Please Note: This Digital Live Visit is not free. The cost per hour is reasonable. We can jump from museum to museum or go in-depth into one collection, as you please. Live class given in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

Feedback December, 2020: “Hello Jeannette, Today’s webinar was absolutely wonderful.. content, delivery. I learned a lot and thoroughly enjoyed the hour.. When the professor asked if he could go longer, I was inwardly yelling. “Yes, please!!! “This professor is wonderful..a natural teacher and obviously an expert on Van Gogh and the time. Makes me yearn for my college days. I truly hope you will keep me in mind for future presentations like this.”
