The Stolen Panel of the Ghent Altarpiece: lecture by your own art historian and no. 1 Dutch tourguide, INDOOR Live virtual tour

Here's an example of one of my online lectures; this one was about a very traditional feast in the Netherlands: Celebration on Dec 5 of Saint Nicholas (prefather of Santaclaus).

An online lecture with power point presentation from the safety of your own home!

My name is Walda, I'm an art historian since 1996 and Toursbylocals no. 1 tourguide in the Netherlands.

I'm a private guide in the Netherlands and Belgium.

Most of the time you can find me in museums, for example the Rijksmuseum to tell my guests everthing about Rembrandt and the masterpieces in the Gallery of Honour.

This is often combined with a city walk (Amsterdam Museum Square with Rijksmuseum in the background).

I can tell you all about any art historian subject of your interest.

In this lecture with power point presentation I'll tell you everything about the Stolen Panel of the Ghent Altarpiece.

Or maybe you are more interested in Vermeer and the Girl with the pearl earring! Watch this video: youtube.com/watch?v=NctWzydRFgk

When you book a (real!) tour to Ghent with me in 2021 or 2022 I will give you a full refund for the lecture.

The Ghent Altarpiece was painted by the famous Jan and Hubert Van Eyck in 1432.

In the Ghent City Museum SMAK lots of theories are presented.

Was the stolen panel hidden in this well in Ghent?
