We duiken deze keer in het leven van John Myatt, de man die de kunstwereld op stelten zette met zijn vervalsingen. Je gelooft het niet, maar deze dude was gewoon een doodgewone kunstschilder die ineens in de spotlight belandde toen hij werd opgepakt door Scotland Yard in 1995. En laat me je vertellen, het verhaal dat volgt is zo vol wendingen dat je denkt dat je naar een spannende thriller kijkt! Myatt maakte talloze vervalsingen voor een man genaamd John Drewe, die hem in zijn web van oplichting trok met beloftes die hij nooit kon waarmaken. Terwijl Myatt probeerde rond te komen als alleenstaande vader, werd hij een onbedoelde medeplichtige in een van de grootste kunstfraudes van de 20ste eeuw. En geloof me, we hebben het hier niet over een stel amateuristische knoeiers; de duo heeft zelfs kunstwerken verkocht voor miljoenen! Dus leun achterover en bereid je voor op een verhaal vol drama, intrige en een flinke dosis kunstzinnige misleiding.Prepare for a rollercoaster of deception as we delve into one of the 20th century's most notorious art forgeries.

Myatt, the man behind the brush, initially just wanted to escape the monotony of farm life, but fate had other plans for him. His incredible talent for mimicking famous artists caught the eye of John Drewe, a man whose name could easily be mistaken for a comic book villain, but whose schemes were all too real.The duo's partnership is a thrilling testament to the lengths people will go to for a quick buck, with Myatt painting the fakes and Drool crafting elaborate tales of provenance, turning their works into hot commodities in the art world. As the episode unfolds, we learn about the intricate fabrications that Drewe wove to sell these forgeries as genuine masterpieces. From fake documents to fictitious histories, the creativity behind their fraud is almost impressive—if it weren’t so illegal. Rick and Robert guide us through the twists and turns of their partnership, emphasizing how Myatt’s struggle to make a living as an artist led him down this treacherous path.But the story doesn’t end there. As Myatt’s world crumbles around him, we witness the impact of their actions on the art community and the eventual fallout when their scheme is exposed. The episode culminates in a courtroom drama that reveals the true cost of their deception, with Myatt receiving a surprisingly lenient sentence compared to Drewe’s lengthy prison term. It’s a gripping conclusion that raises questions about justice, morality, and the fine line between art and fraud. Kunstmaffia invites listeners to reflect on the nature of authenticity in art and the lengths to which individuals will go to chase their dreams—no matter how murky the path may be.Takeaways: In 1995, Scotland Yard raided a London studio and arrested artist John Myatt for art forgery, leading to a wild tale of deception. John Myatt's journey from a struggling artist to an infamous forger is a rollercoaster of creativity and desperation, highlighting the thin line between art and fraud. The partnership between Myatt and John Drewe resulted in one of the largest art frauds of the 20th century, showcasing the dark side of the art world. Drewe's manipulation of provenance documents and the art market reveals how easily trust can be exploited in the high-stakes world...

  • # 6 - Zaak 54: De Franse Kunstroof in Nederland
    Zaak 54: De Franse Kunstroof in NederlandOf het nu groot of klein is, anoniem of niet, eenmalig of maandelijks, elke bijdrage helpt ons om dit fascinerende verhaal voort te zetten en meer verborgen verhalen aan het licht te brengen: https://fooienpod.com/kunstmaffiaZeer veel dank mochten jullie iets voor onze podcast over hebben! Alright, folks! Today we're diving deep into the wild world of art heists, and let me tell ya, this one's a doozy! We're kicking things off with the audacious French art theft in the Netherlands back in 1795, when revolutionary troops rolled in like they owned the place—spoiler alert: they kinda did! Picture this: stadhouder Willem V, in a mad dash to save his royal skin, leaves behind a treasure trove of masterpieces that would make any museum curator weep. The French, under the banner of “liberty, equality, fraternity,” turned out to be art thieves in disguise, scooping up Dutch cultural gems to beef up the Louvre. So grab your popcorn and settle in, ’cause we’re unraveling a tale of stolen art, bold escapes, and how history sometimes gets a bit... sticky!Let’s turn the clock back to January 1795, a time when Willem V was sprinting for his life, leaving behind a stunning collection of Dutch masterpieces that would soon become the spoils of war. Our hosts, Rick and Robert, guide us through the whirlwind of events that led to the French army marching into the Netherlands with one mission: to collect the cultural jewels and ship them off to Paris. They paint a vivid picture of how the French soldiers, armed with a list of coveted artworks, transformed into an elite squad of art thieves, all while the Dutch were left in a state of disbelief. It’s like a heist movie, but set in the 18th century! The conversation takes a humorous turn as they poke fun at the absurdity of the situation, contrasting the grandiose ideals of revolution with the grim reality of cultural looting. We hear about the shenanigans of the French art experts who, under the guise of cultural enlightenment, dismantled Dutch identity piece by precious piece. The narrative is rich with anecdotes, exploring how paintings were rolled up and shipped off, while the Dutch were left with empty frames and bitter memories. And let’s not forget the elephant in the room—literally! The story of the stolen elephants adds a whimsical touch to the somber tale of loss, proving that history can be both tragic and delightfully bizarre. As they wrap up, the hosts reflect on the ongoing implications of this artistic heist, connecting the dots to today’s conversations around cultural heritage and restitution. It’s a thought-provoking discussion that challenges us to think about who owns history and art, and how we’re still grappling with the consequences of these past actions. Spoiler alert: the road to restoring stolen art is still bumpy, and it seems France is holding onto its treasures like a kid clutching their candy on Halloween. So, grab your headphones and get ready for a deep dive into art, history, and a dash of hilarity!Takeaways: The French Revolution sparked a cultural upheaval, leading to the plundering of artworks across Europe, especially in the Netherlands. In 1795, the French Republican army invaded the Netherlands, causing the Dutch stadtholder to flee, leaving behind invaluable art collections. The infamous French art theft was a well-organized operation, not just random looting by soldiers, showcasing a calculated approach to seizing cultural treasures. Despite the return of some artworks after the Napoleonic Wars, a significant portion of Dutch art remains missing in French collections even today. The legacy of colonial art theft continues to affect museums and cultural institutions across Europe, igniting debates about restitution...

    Zaak 53: Koninklijke RoofkunstOf het nu groot of klein is, anoniem of niet, eenmalig of maandelijks, elke bijdrage helpt ons om dit fascinerende verhaal voort te zetten en meer verborgen verhalen aan het licht te brengen: https://fooienpod.com/kunstmaffiaZeer veel dank mochten jullie iets voor onze podcast over hebben! Show notes – Eind 18e eeuw vlucht stadhouder Willem V het land uit en neemt een uiterst kostbaar 534-delig porseleinen servies mee. In Engeland moet hij dat verkopen om in zijn kosten te voorzien.Een eeuw later belandt een deel van het exclusieve servies in de verzameling van een Duits-Joodse bankier, die gedwongen wordt zijn kunstcollectie te verkopen aan de nazi’s. Lange tijd blijft dit servies spoorloos, tot Kunstdetective Arthur Brand het in 2014 op het spoor komt.Picture this: the late 1930s, where a German-Jewish banker finds himself in a real pickle thanks to the Nazis, who are insisting he sell off his prized art collection just to snag a visa outta dodge. Among the treasures was a super exclusive porcelain set that once graced the tables of a Dutch stadtholder. Fast forward to post-war chaos, and guess what? That exquisite porcelain goes missing, poof, just like my last good pair of socks after laundry day. But hold onto your hats, because in 2014, an eagle-eyed researcher spots a plate from that fabled collection in a Dutch museum, sparking a thrilling chase to uncover the lost pieces of history. This episode of Kunstmafia takes us on a wild ride through art theft, deception, and the ongoing quest for restitution as we unravel the story of a rare 18th-century Meissen porcelain service. It’s not just about the china; it’s about the legacy, the families torn apart by war, and the relentless pursuit of what was stolen. Buckle up as we venture into the murky waters of art history, where each piece tells a tale of loss and recovery, and where every auction catalog holds secrets waiting to be discovered.https://www.femkefataal.nl/roofkunst-paleis-het-loo-moet-terug-naar-joodse-familie/Takeaways: In de jaren '30 dwongen de nazi's een Duits-Joodse bankier zijn waardevolle kunstcollectie te verkopen voor een visum. De zoektocht naar verloren kunstvoorwerpen uit de Tweede Wereldoorlog blijft doorgaan, met meer dan 100.000 items nog steeds spoorloos. Tijdens deze aflevering bekijken we de geschiedenis van een uniek 18de-eeuws Meissen servies dat onlangs werd teruggevonden. Herbert Gutmann, een grootverzamelaar, werd door de nazi's gedwongen zijn kunstcollectie te verkopen en vluchtte naar Engeland. De ontdekking van roofkunst in musea heeft geleid tot een hernieuwde zoektocht naar gerechtigheid voor de erfgenamen. Het Meissen servies, dat ooit toebehoorde aan Willem de Vijfde, onthult de complexe geschiedenis van kunstroof en restitutie.

Talk about a plot twist! So, what do the police do? They throw together a special task force of 25 detectives. That’s right, folks, 25!
