Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: in 1549 (ECARTICO) or in 1539 (museabrugge.be) or in 1549 (Integrated Authority File; National Gallery of Victoria; KulturNav; BnF authorities; opac.vatlib.it; Frick Art Research Library Photoarchive; The Stuttgart Database of Scientific Illustrators 1450–1950; Städel Museum; ARTIC).
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.
