This web site is still in progress, please log in periodically.

We are happy to announce the continuation of the English translation on our website! Over the past years we have faced several obstacles such as the demise of our main translator and technical problems with our provider, server, and computer. In addition we have focused on other urgent projects including the French translation, the gallery, the slide shows, the painting descriptions, and the creation of a comprehensive data base of the artistic work of Egon von Vietinghoff. Now we are finally turning back to improve the English version of this site – even if progressing slowly.

At the moment the following information in English is available:

Online

  1. Gallery (8 English painting descriptions will be available soon)
