Michelangelo And Da Vinci

作者觉得自己最佩服的两位艺术家是米开朗琪罗和达芬奇，文中主要介绍了这两位艺术巨匠。作者相信这两位艺术家有相似的地方，并在同一时间，他们在某些方面，显示其独特的人才有的不同。显然，两位艺术家都通过不同的主题和风格，在文艺复兴时期，在艺术史上贡献了最令人印象深刻的作品。

Among all the world’s famous artists, there are two of them that left me a deep impression. One of them is Michelangelo and the other one is the famous Leonardo Da Vinci. A lot of art experts have mentioned that Michelangelo is a better artist then Leonardo Da Vinci, However, I respectfully disagree. I claimed that not because of my particular obsession with Leonardo Da Vinci. On the contrary, I believe these two artists both share similarities and at the same time, they differ in some ways that show their unique talents. 
In fact, Michelangelo is regarded as the rival of another Renaissance artist called Leonardo Da Vinci. It is obvious that these two artists shared the same period of time. Both of them lived and worked in the same period. However, Michelangelo is more than twenty years younger than Leonardo Da Vinci. Therefore, it means that when Michelangelo decided to start his career as an artist, Leonardo Da Vinci has already established his reputation. What’s more, at the period of time when Michelangelo and his work became well-known to the people of his time, Leonardo Da Vinci had already planned to retire and enjoy his peaceful time. That explained why the name Leonardo Da Vinci is more likely to ring a bell for the common citizens than Michelangelo. 
When it comes to what these two artists painted, in fact, they painted almost the similar topics. This is not because they shared the same taste. Just like the majority of other author and artists in the Renaissance, they had to be commissioned by the Church to make art, paint stories and even create works that are based on Biblical stories. Therefore, what they made or created did not truly reflect what they think of. On the contrary, they might have been forced by the powerful to paint stories about a belief that they did not believe in. for Leonardo Da Vinci, one of his most well known paintings is about a painting of Jesus and Jesus’ disciples called The Last Supper. For Michelangelo, his famous work is related to the painting of Leonardo Da Vinci. It is called the Sistine Chapel Roof, which showed many stories from the Bible.
However, although they painted art works that are based on Biblical stories, that does not mean that they share the similar styles. For Michelangelo, he is more famous being recognized by the ordinary citizens as a sculptor. On the other hand, people know Leonardo Da Vinci as an artist who can do sketches well. What’s more, although both of have had worked in realistic compositions characteristic of artists, they did it in different ways. Leonardo Da Vinci had a tendency of placing a lot of attention on the fabric. However, for Michelangelo, he preferred to make large shapes and minimal clothing. 
Clearly, both artists are both known by different subject matter and styles. It is never fair to say one beats anther because both of them passed on to the world the stories from the Renaissance and they have contributed the most impressive creations in art history.
