Incompatible birth dates

Sources disagree: December 23, 1882 (Czech National Authority Database; Benezit Dictionary of Artists; birth registry; Integrated Authority File; Artists of the World Online; REGO; RKDartists; Encyclopedia of Brno History; The Fine Art Archive Db) or December 24, 1882 (Olomouc City Library regional database).
