Well, I think Dan Brown's description of the "Madonna" painting (Which he altered the name on IIRC so that the "So dark the con of man" anagram would work) is stretching it, I can see how that could be a matter of interpretation.
It's instances like claiming that the glass pyramid has 666 panes on it (It's actually 673 panes), and the painting that Sophie uses as a shield, the book describes as being short enough for Sophie to look over, when in fact it's 6 1/2 feet tall (And too heavy to lift), etc, that undermine the claim at the front of the book that all his descriptions are accurate.
