[edit] death

Did Pissarro die on 12th or 13th November? The article use both dates in different places. I've also found both on a web search. Can anyone find out a definitive answer? Stephen Turner 18:25, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)

PedanticallySpeaking kindly asked this question on Wikipedia:Reference desk. The following replies are copied from there. Stephen Turner 10:47, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Funny, the death date seems indeed to be controversial...I'm not able to do any serious library research right now, but I noticed that Encyclopedia Britannica says he died November 13, 1903, while the German Brockhaus encyclopedia has him listed as having died on November 12. If two such renowned encyclopedias differ, there's probably some real difficulty in pinpointing the date. I'm intrigued to dig up some biographies and have a look, but that will take some time... -- Ferkelparade π 23:01, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for your research, Ferkelparade. In that case, I suppose the article should state that the date is in doubt, unless and until we can resolve it definitively. Stephen Turner 10:06, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I suppose he was found dead on 13th Nov and the doctor gave a time of death between the two days?

[edit] Camille Pissarro - What eye condition did he have in his later years?

Does anyone know what eye condition Camille Pissarro was diagnosed with in his later years that prevented him from painting outside? I can't seem to find reference to it.

[edit] editing this page

I am slightly confused as to exactly what this sentence means "They had eight children together, one who died at birth, a daughter when nine and a son when an adult." should it read? They had eight children together, though three died, one at birth, a daughter when she was nine and a son when he was an adult. please give me some feed back
