Meyer thought the prints were beautiful, but didnt give them much thought over the years. It wasnt until the COVID-19 pandemic that she sat down and took a closer look at them and, with the help of experts, ultimately discovered that they were actually the work of none other than Rembrandt.Though the 17th-century Dutch artist Rembrandt van Rijn is best known for his paintings, he also created hundreds of etchings.

For just a few guilders, my grandfather bought 35 different ones, Meyer explained. My grandmother didnt pay any attention to them. We kept them, but nobody really expected anything from them.She had always known the prints were beautiful, but as Meyer examined them more closely, she began to wonder if they were in fact something truly special. Though its unclear if Meyers grandfather had left behind a hint about the etchings provenance, or if Meyer did research therein on her own, Meyer ultimately contacted the Rembrandt House in Amsterdam to learn more.Charlotte Meyer Collection/Stedelijk Museum ZutphenOne of the etchings from Meyers collection: Self-Portrait in a Fur Cap, Rembrandt van Rijn, 1630.Experts from the Rembrandt house agreed to come see the collection, and were completely blown away by what Meyer showed them. As Meyer told NL Times, They said, Charlotte, you have no idea what youve got!'As it turned out, all 35 were created by Rembrandt.In all, Rembrandt had produced hundreds of such etchings in his life, in addition to his more famous paintings. These etchings were largely purchased over the years by collectors and enthusiasts, like Meyers grandfather, who acquired his Rembrandt etchings between 1900 and 1920.And its not the first time in recent years that Rembrandt van Rijn has been at the center of a big news story even though he died more than 350 years ago.Rembrandt van Rijn Discoveries Over The YearsBorn in Leiden, Netherlands in 1606, Rembrandt van Rijn began his artistic career around the age of 14, during an apprenticeship with another painter. After spending time in Amsterdam, Rembrandt began to establish a reputation as a painter of historical scenes and, later, portraits. Before his death in 1669, his most famous paintings included The Anatomy Lesson (1632), Dana (1636), and The Night Watch (1642).The Night Watch was the subject of another Rembrandt discovery in 2024, when a study of the famous painting detected the presence of arsenic. According to the study, arsenic helped give the uniform of the lieutenant figure, Willem van Ruytenburch, who is dressed in gold, its golden sheen.Public DomainThe Night Watch by Rembrandt.And in 2020, another surprising Rembrandt story hit the news when a museum in Pennsylvania discovered that a painting theyd had for decades previously thought to be a Rembrandt knockoff made by one of his assistants or students was actually an authentic piece painted by the artist himself.As such, the 17th-century artist is still making headlines, even today. And Charlotte Meyer is thrilled that her grandfathers collection of etchings, which sat forgotten for years, are now part of the larger Rembrandt story. Her etchings will soon be on display at the Stedelijk Museum Zutphen, alongside dozens of other etchings that she has collected.Its such a beautiful story, Meyer remarked, one you can only dream about.After reading about the woman who discovered a collection of Rembrandt prints among her family heirlooms, discover the dark story behind the famous 19th-century painting Saturn Devouring His Son by Francisco Goya.

ALLTHATSINTERESTING.COMThe Puzzling Story Of Walter Collins, The Young Boy Whose Disappearance Led To An Los Angeles Police ScandalOn March 10, 1928, nine-year-old Walter Collins asked his mother, Christine, for some money to see a movie. She handed him a dime and sent him on his way but she never saw him again.Wikimedia CommonsWalter Collins was just nine years old when he vanished from the Lincoln Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles.Los Angeles police quickly began searching for the boy when he failed to return home from the theater, but they came up empty-handed. Then, five months later, a child claiming to be young Walter turned up in Illinois. Although Christine Collins insisted the boy was not her son, the police were adamant that he was, and they even forced her into a psychiatric ward when she continued to deny their claims.The impostor eventually admitted that he wasnt Walter Collins after all. Around the same time, investigators came across a grisly crime scene on a ranch in Wineville, 50 miles outside of L.A. There, a man named Gordon Stewart Northcott had been kidnapping, sexually abusing, and killing young boys with the help of his mother, Sarah Louise Northcott.Though the police never found any physical evidence linking Northcott to Walters disappearance, the killer verbally admitted to murdering the boy on at least one occasion, and Sarah Northcott said shed also been involved in his death. She was ultimately sentenced to life in prison for Walters murder but the mystery surrounding the boys disappearance and the bizarre series of events that ensued remain a source of intrigue to this day.The Mysterious Disappearance Of Walter CollinsWhen Walter Collins vanished while walking to a Lincoln Heights movie theater in March 1928, he became one of a string of boys who disappeared from the surrounding area beginning in 1926. A month prior, a headless child had been found in nearby La Puente. And two months later, young brothers Nelson and Lewis Winslow went missing from L.A.s Pomona neighborhood. At the time, the citys police force was facing criticism due to recent corruption scandals, and officers were further embarrassed when they failed to locate Walter in a timely manner. However, they had very little information to go on.Los Angeles Public LibraryThe truth about Walter Collins fate remains unknown to this day.Walters father, who was serving time in Folsom State Prison, thought a former inmate may have kidnapped his son as revenge, because part of his job in the facilitys cafeteria was to report infractions. Meanwhile, according to Crime Museum, a gas station attendant in Glendale claimed hed seen a foreign couple with a dead boy in the back of their car. He identified the body as Walters after seeing a photograph of the child.Neither of these leads helped detectives, however, and Walters case went cold for several months. Then, in August 1928, a boy claiming to be Walter Collins turned up in Illinois and sparked another police scandal.How A Crafty Impostor Tried To Fool Christine CollinsChristine Collins had spent five agonizing months waiting for any information about her sons fate when hope arrived unexpectedly from halfway across the country. Police picked up a boy in DeKalb, Illinois who said his name was Walter Collins. They sent photos to Christine, who wasnt convinced. However, officers talked her into trying out the child and brought him to California.After three weeks, Christine marched back to the police station with Walters dental records and a list of signed statements from people who had known her son. She insisted that the boy from Illinois was an impostor and that she wanted nothing more to do with him.Twitter/Historic Women DailyChristine Collins with Arthur Hutchens, the boy who pretended to be her son.To save face, officers called Christine Collins a lunatic and accused her of trying to embarrass them. They said she was simply attempting to shirk her responsibilities as a mother. According to the Mirror, the police forced the grieving mother into a psychiatric facility using Code 12, a policy that allowed them to simply get rid of difficult citizens.While Christine was institutionalized, however, Walter admitted that he was indeed an impostor after all when a handwriting expert analyzed his writing style compared to that of the real Walter.His real name was Arthur Hutchens. He was 12 years old and had decided to impersonate Walter Collins after someone mentioned that he resembled the missing boy. He wanted to go to Hollywood in hopes of meeting his cowboy idol, Tom Mix, so he went along with his made-up story for as long as possible. Around the same time as the truth about Arthur was coming to light, police made another discovery on a ranch 50 miles outside of Los Angeles. A man named Gordon Stewart Northcott had been kidnapping and murdering young boys and Walter may have been one of his victims.Inside The Wineville Chicken Coop MurdersStarting in 1926, Gordon Stewart Northcott began abducting male children, raping them on his ranch in Wineville, California, and bludgeoning them to death with an ax. He later claimed that he abused the young boys because he loved them.He was only caught in September 1928 when his cousin contacted authorities and told them that Northcott had kidnapped her teenage brother and was abusing him. When detectives arrived on Northcotts property, they uncovered the grisly truth about the Wineville Chicken Coop Murders.Wikimedia CommonsGordon Stewart Northcotts ranch in 1928.On the ranch, investigators found the scattered bone fragments of young males and axes with blood and human hair encrusted on their blades. Reportedly, Northcott verbally admitted that hed killed five boys, including Walter Collins and the Winslow brothers who had disappeared shortly after him. He confessed that he kidnapped boys to rape them, killed them when he got bored, and then used quicklime to dispose of their remains.He did all of this, he said, with the help of his mother, Sarah with whom he also claimed he had an incestuous relationship.However, when it came time to write and sign an official confession, Northcott changed his story and said he only killed one person, a Mexican boy named Alvin Gothea, in February 1928. With no physical evidence linking Walter Collins to the ranch, the boys fate was still unknown. Then, Sarah Northcott came forward with a story of her own.What Really Happened To Walter Collins?Sarah Louise Northcott eventually confessed that she had been the one to kill Walter Collins. She dealt him a fatal blow with an ax, she said, and buried him near the chicken coop. She was sentenced to life in prison for his murder.Meanwhile, Gordon Stewart Northcott was found guilty in February 1929 of killing the Winslow brothers and one other unnamed victim. He was sentenced to death and hanged on Oct. 2, 1930 and the knowledge of the true fate of Walter Collins may have died with him. Los Angeles Public LibraryGordon Stewart Northcott was found guilty of murdering three young boys on his Wineville ranch.To this day, nobody knows what really happened to Walter Collins. Though Sarah Northcott was convicted of his murder, police never found any real evidence that the boy had ever even been on the ranch.Its possible that he was abducted by one of his fathers prison enemies or ended up in the back of a foreign couples car. His body may have been covered in quicklime on Gordon Stewart Northcotts ranch, never to be seen again. Or perhaps he was never murdered at all. Whatever the truth may be, the story of Walter Collins continues to baffle to this day.After reading about the tragic story of Walter Collins, go inside the chilling disappearance of Bryce Laspisa, who vanished while driving through rural California in the middle of the night.
