For the past 30 years Ernst Leyden's son has been doggedly cataloging and restoring paintings, corresponding with galleries, museums and collectors out of respect for a man's life and work.

This website has been created with the aim of giving a point of reference to students, collectors, museums and galleries around the world whilst offering an entertaining insight into the life and work of this talented artist

The E-mail icon(tvl@ernstleyden.com) offers an easy opportunity for all collectors owning Leydens or van Leydens to submit their works for display on this website and/or to be referenced in the forthcoming comprehensive CD-ROM(see "events" for more details) and generally to contribute any information or comments that seem pertinent.
