Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: June 1, 1780 (BnF authorities; The Fine Art Archive Db; Encyclopædia Britannica Online; Open Library; Gran Enciclopèdia Catalana; Find a Grave; Great Norwegian Encyclopedia; SNAC) or July 1, 1780 (Integrated Authority File).
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.
