I’m working on an updated Norwegian Nynorsk translation, but found some rather 
strange strings:

  Ambrosius Bosschaert, The Elder - 1614

The actual title of work is ‘Flower Still Life’. It is ambrosius himself that 
is the elder!

The same error is present in another string that contains

  Artist: Ambrosius Bosschaert. Title: The Elder. Licence: Public Domain.

This same string also contains the ‘name’

  Bruegel d. Ä. 

The actual name should be ‘Pieter Bruegel’ or ‘Pieter Bruegel the Elder’.
‘d. Ä’ is just a German abbreviation meaning ‘the elder’.

The string also contains

  Description: The Lady and the Unicorn (tapestries). Author: Pierre-Emmanuel 
  Malissin et frédéric Valdes. Licence: Free but requires the site and author. 

Firstly, ‘frédéric‘ should probably have a capital ‘F‘. Also, why use an image 
with such harsh conditions of use? The image is available at other places 
without such limitations, e.g. English Wikipedia at 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:The_Lady_and_the_unicorn_Desire.jpg which 
also have much better quality.
