“Wijnand A. P. van Tilburg” is a name that almost comes with a prefab backstory. Heir to a mysterious but large fortune, Danish royalty on his father’s side with minor French nobility on his mother’s, great-great-grandson of the most decorated officer of the Crimean War, one-half owner of a castle in Lichtenstein rumored to house up to three Vermeers unknown to the outside world, and of course the grisly fratricide in the family’s history which was the talk of society at the time but has now been papered over by the family’s philanthropic efforts in arts education in the wake of the tragedy.
