Welcome to Atelier Waldlaterne, a virtual gallery with paintings by Jolanda van Belzen.
The genres of Jolanda's oil paintings are Still Life and Flower. Her art uniquely blends a contemporary angle on composition with a classical style of painting. This style is in the tradition of the 18th Century Dutch and French master painters, using traditional Old Holland oils on finest linen.
"The Letters from Vincent van Gogh to his Brother Theo"
Jolanda's most recent painting, December 2009.
Please browse these works on 'Painting Boulevard' - the main section of this website. I would welcome your email should you have any comment or question about my paintings.

Besides caricatures there are traditional Dutch and Scottish city-scapes, meticulously hand-coloured with finest water colour paints. Jolanda has mastered an art form that was custom in the age before colour printing.

Waldlaterne
The name Waldlaterne refers to the 'Narnia Lamppost' which is planted between a collection of shrubs and trees: Wald being the German word for 'a wood' and laterne meaning lamppost. Choose 'Country Lane' to browse (and download for your desktop if you wish) some photographs of the Narnia Lamppost.
