Incompatible birth dates

Sources disagree: August 10, 1629 (RKDartists; Benezit Dictionary of Artists; Dizionario Biografico degli Italiani) or August 10, 1639 (BnF authorities).

The main date retains its own sources. These alternatives overlap neither all other statements nor the main date. Rank is Wikidata editorial priority, not proof.
