Michelangelo
Michelangelo was very religious, in comparison to Leonardo da Vinci. Michelangelo saw art as “the embodiment of virtue and reason, the reflection of judgment, [and] the distillation of wisdom”.9 Michelangelo’s passion for art, combined with his religious views, helped inspire him to create some of the most iconic pieces of Renaissance history ever.
