N.B. Since there is already a NACO version, this is not a likely citation, but if you wanted to revise the heading to use his actual birthdate, you might do this. The date on the Italian heading actually occurs in angle brackets which will not fare well in HTML so I've changed it, and also added a comma to the French heading which is subfielded without punctuation.

These examples have been compiled since the founding of Art NACO in 1993. Some are a bit dated in style but still display what sorts of information one might include in a 670. This page was updated, at the instigation of my NYU colleague Elizabeth Lilker, in October 2007 to match the chapters in the third edition. Also, she provided a number of new examples. I would also like to thank Mary Jane Cuneo of Harvard Fine Arts for her input on 670 examples.
