I note that the BBC helpfully doesn't tell us what the right answer was!
(For the record, Grove Art states "b ... ?1485–90; d Venice, 27 Aug 1576", so it's definitely unclear)

Well, the news article has been updated as this incident was mentioned on the Floor of the House:
"Later, Labour MP Peter Kilfoyle asked the deputy Speaker of the House of Commons: "I wonder whether you could tell the House whether you have had representations from the leader of the opposition so that he might correct the comments that he made about Titian.
"Or is it enough in this modern age for the leader of the opposition's staff simply to alter Wikipedia?"
Following several seconds of uproar, the deputy Speaker replied: "The honourable gentleman, as an experienced member of this House, knows that is not a point of order for the chair but his comments are on record." "
Hilarious! And now on the front page of the BBC news website, and among the most popular stories:
