Best Answer

They were both renaissance artists and painted around the same time (Leonardo was 23 years older than Michelangelo but they did meet). They are both believed to have been homosexual and both were fascinated by the human body (especially the nude male) they both studied human bodies in close detail and would dissect dead bodies to study them (although this was illegal and had to be done in secret). They were both very intelligent and very good artists (and in michelangelo's case sculptor too). They both painted religious scenes...eg. Leonardo's the last supper and michelangelos Sistine chapel ceiling. They would have both admired each others works, although Leonardo disliked Michelangelo as a person when they met (Leonardo considered Michelangelo to be "rude").

So they had a lot in common.

Their main differences was that Michelangelo was mainly a sculptor and Leonardo considered painting a higher profession than sculpting. In fact he once made a joke about how sculptors were always dusty and dirty which michelangelo was angry about. Also they had different personalities: Da Vinci loved to joke and was very sociable. However, Michelangelo is believe to have been a very lonely character who liked to work in solitude and had a foul temper and would often storm off. Also da Vinci loved nature and considered nature to be greater than human life and knew that we could never trully understand nature...however michelangelo saw nature as an obstacle that had to be overcome in his painting.

I hope i helped.

Michelangelo was a sculptor, a painter, an architect and a city planner. One of his most famous statues is "The David", in Florence, Italy. He also painted the ceiling and two walls in the Sistine Chapel, Vatican City. He was commissioned by Popes to create and carve their tombs.
