Bramante, Raphael, and Michelangelo.
Raphael had already produced several minor works in northern Italy so already was beginning to be recognized. When he moved to Rome in 1508 Pope Julius III, probably at the urging of architect Donato Bramante, commissioned Raphael to produce a fresco in what was intended to become the Pope's private library at the Vatican Palace. Working for the pope, especially on a major work of art, was a guarantee of becoming well known. Many artists from this period gained their fame because of work they were commissioned to do by the Vatican.

In 1513 Leonardo went to Rome, probably hoping that the new pope, Leo X, would employ him. However Raphael was painting the Stanze in the Vatican and Leo commissioned Michelangelo to work in Florence. So Leonardo left Rome. Maybe this makes Raphael and Michelangelo his rivals?
