Problem - although there are some sources that back up the birthdate we use - Britannica uses born Dec. 3, 1830 Lotsofissues 15:53, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- The Oxford DNB confirms Dec 3. as the birthdate. Lotsofissues 21:26, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
Leighton cannot have met Picasso in Paris when he used to live there from 1855 to 1859 : Picasso was born in 1881. I guess it might have been Pissaro instead but this should be verified. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Balearn (talk • contribs) 10:06, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] He met Picasso...?!
That would be an interesting feat. According to Wikipedia, Pablo Picasso was born in 1881. And according to the same source, Leighton died in 1896. I'm not saying that it would have been impossible for the two to have met -- but it certainly couldn't have happened in 1860, as this article suggests.
If I dig up the right sources, then I'll edit the article myself. I'm just too lazy to do that right now, so I'll leave it to someone else, unless I beat him to it.
