Next time, specifiy who Leonardo was. There's a lot of Leos out there. But, if you were trying to be obvious...
Other than painting, he was pretty much a scientist as well. If it would creep you out, he had to learn anatomy in order to paint, and to him, that meant asking people to dig up corpses for him to study the insides of people.
With an idea, he was an inventor. As millions of people in the world at that time thought, he always wanted to defy human logic. He tried to find ways to fly, generally, and came up with ideas like the aerial screw or what is today the helicopter. Even though his aviation-related inventions didn't go so well, his ideas helped the world create flying techniques with his blueprints.

Michelangelo was one of the best artists who ever lived. He was an Italian man who lived in Florence as a young man and lived in Rome in his old age and died there. His sculptures are the best that have ever been sculpted, because of their incredibly realistic human figures. His most famous sculptures are the Pieta in Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome and his David in the Academia in Florence. His painting was as good as his sculpture, even though he never considered himself a painter. His famous paintings are the Sistine Chapel ceiling in Rome and the Last Judgement, which is also in the Sistine Chapel. He was also an accomplished architect. He is the man who directed the building of Saint Peter's Basilica. He was also a very good poet, although I don't like his stuff.

Did Michelangelo really have a stonemason's mark?
Ludwig Goldscheider, Michelangelo (Phaidon, 1973) has this insignia on its black cloth hard cover: three rings triangularly set and initial M in one of the rings. and and "Michelangelo" callgraphied underneath. His sheets of drawings used to guide quarrymen in cutting stones for his projects, particularly c. 1520 all show this three-ring design and a work, unfinished, in the Accademia in Florence called (erroneously) the "Atlas Slave" still shows this three ring design on its upper-most face, a surface never touched by the act of sculpture. Michelangelo apparently created his stone mason's symbol using an early, and similar, symbol used by the Medici Family. He said the circles represent "Sculpture", "Painting," and "Architecture," contemplation of which "raises the thoughts to heaven."

There are many quotes by Michelangelo where he insists he is a sculptor and not a painter. Marble was definitely his preferred medium.

Why was the statue of David by Michelangelo important?
It was an important sculpture when it was made. It was a symbol for the strength of Florence. David is young but he is also muscular and very strong looking. He is at the moment right before he loads his sling, and his gaze is intent upon the giant he must kill. The skill with which the statue was made is another reason it is so very important.

Carrara marble. Michelangelo used to go to the quarry himself to select his stone.
