message: 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)
thread_title: Bizarro!

message: 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.

message: Are there any indications about his sexual orientation -- i. e., was he gay?
Factual information about this will be much appreciated, thanks. Maikel (talk) 16:04, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

message: I found this portrait entirely by accident, but it is very good: The Album Supplement, Apr. 29, 1895, page 1.  The photo credit says Russell & Sons.  The Album appears to be a journal worth mining for portraiture. Douglas W. Jones (talk) 14:40, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
