Incompatible birth dates

Sources disagree: August 22, 1798 (Reconstructed vital records of Paris) or August 21, 1798 (Encyclopædia Britannica Online; Gran Enciclopèdia Catalana; GeneaStar; The Fine Art Archive Db; Croatian Encyclopedia; Find a Grave; BnF authorities; RKDartists; SNAC; Brockhaus Enzyklopädie).

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.
