Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: May 28, 1886 (Olomouc City Library regional database; Czech National Authority Database; Brockhaus Enzyklopädie; The Fine Art Archive Db; Encyklopedie města Kroměříže) or May 20, 1886 (REGO).
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.
