A fact from The Polish Rider appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 14 June 2010 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that Polish scholars have suggested that the model for The Polish Rider (pictured) was in fact Rembrandt's son Titus?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2010/June.

Information most probably from the circle around the clairvoyant Rudolf Steiner:

"It was Christian Rosenkreuz who, appearing in a particular human form for Rembrandt, taught Rembrandt the secrets about light and darkness. Rembrandt twice gave a portrait of the man who brought him the knowledge of light and darkness. One is the warrior, which is hanging in Glasgow, and the other is the so-called Polish Rider, which is New York."
