imsophie1: I've studied both. Michelangelo was a master in the artistic sense. da Vinci was a master in all facets of the creative abilities of the human mind. He was easily bored and easily distracted, thus leaving many works unfinished by his own hand. I was forever reading about da Vinci and my ex used to accuse me of having an affair with him.
I enjoy the old masters of all genre (art, music, science). They were all born out of time. Had today's technology been available to them, who knows what they would have accomplished.
He was easly bored and distracted.... hahahahhahaha
Looks like tabloids... Every artist has unfinished works and special character to make that large amount of works. Who is the biggest talent? They were both super-talented masters. For me personally Michelangelo is more inspiring, but that is only because I also into sculpting. Very glas they both left us masterpieces which touch my heart over and over again... :
