Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: July 26, 1796 (okhistory.org; Encyclopædia Britannica Online; Encyclopedia of World Biography; BnF authorities) or in 1796 (Library of the World's Best Literature) or in 1794 (RKDartists).
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.
