Old Masters Codexery — Data & Quality

We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Giuseppe Arcimboldo — The entry claims 'The beard of the portrait is made of a brush or duster, not animal tails' in reference to The Librarian. In the actual painting, the beard is composed of animal tails (specifically, a fox's brush or similar), not a brush or duster.

Canaletto — The entry states Canaletto was born on 18 October 1697, but the widely accepted birth date is 28 October 1697 (baptismal record).

Canaletto — The entry claims he worked in England from 1746 to 1756, but his stay in England is generally dated from 1746 to 1755.
