The Art of

Chester County

leander fontaine
BY DR. BRUCE A. COLLEY
PRESIDENT OF CHESTER COUNTY MEDICAL SOCIETY

L

et me introduce you to Leander Fontaine, a native of
the Saarland district of Germany, near the border of
Luxembourg and France. You might remember from
history class that it is an area of Europe that has changed its
nationality many times in the past 200 years. Though politically
volatile, it has made for an area with a rich mixture of art, music,
and cultures. To our good fortune Leander has been a resident
of Chester County since 2000, and as it became clear to me
during our conversations, upon moving to the USA he could
have established residence anywhere in America. He was drawn to
Chester County, however, because of its vibrant art community
and the unparalleled beauty of the Brandywine Valley. " The

climate, topography and vegetation here in Chester County are
nearly the same as my home. " Leander said. And of serendipity,
upon moving to Chester County Leander discovered the Amish
community just a few miles from his home; and found they
emigrated from his district in Germany (just 200 years earlier). In
fact, the German dialect spoken in his hometown is the same as is
spoken by our local Amish!
Leander trained as a physician and practiced in Germany as an
anesthesiologist for 20 years. A change in career from practicing
physician to a pharmaceutical researcher and consultant brought
him to America.
