Who was better Davinci or michelangelo?

Question

because I've read Michelangelo often ridiculed Davinci. So ultimately over all has history shown who was better?

Answer 1

I would have to say that Michelangelo was a better artist becuase he was more focused on art. Davinci on the otherhand was a better scientist who happend to be an excellent artist. I think he had way too much going on in his brain at one time and can't immagine why his brain didn't explode.

Answer 2

What are you basing the term "better" on? Which one was a better artist? Which one was a better person for not ridiculing the other? I think both Da Vinci and Michelangelo were great artists, few will deny this, although some may choose one over the other. Ultimately, do you want History to be the judge of who was "better", do you want us to be the judges of who was better, or will you be the judge?
