Un-revelling Rivalry Who am I to speak of historical rivalry I cannot contest all the clever myriad truths conjectures and refutations about the two masters the two foes with huge presence when history acclaim appreciation is subjective personal up front and back stage up all artistic ins downs and outs My parachute helicopter mind wants to give first prize to to Leonardo for free flying inventive rebellious mind and he helped me with anatomy dissecting corpses and all I can still smell fragrant formalin preserving miraculous tissues when I had to learn those medical terms and cut into flesh But then Michelangelo shares my middle name though I am no angel but who can proclaim that I may never be biased in associate vein in quite shallow post-post-modernist anticipation when the great man also painted in narrative personification Deluge Drunken Noah Creation of Adam Madonna and Child Okay family man that I am I resort to holidays with my children and am so sad to admit that we never so far made it to Rome sacrilegious or not but how could I pass The Last Judgement when seeing Sistine Chapel’s altar would alter the verdict of Ignoramus with leisure time spent on Normandy’s beaches Well now I recall that trip to Euro Disney when we walked from Tour Eiffel to the Louvre where I temporarily lost my little boy Moritz and almost my temper when the devious villain hid from the artwork was sulking because the Mona Lisa was so small and he was so tiny could not see amongst masses of tourists the smile and metaphorical writing on canvas and wall So in all earnest while giving a toss I could-would have to resort to tossing a coin in regards to whom why how and whenever the rivals could measure up to history my history my story and life Even and because of my whacky literal critical stance and my stanzas bordering on mockery heresy subtle subjectification you must remember that I have one tongue and two cheeks And while seemingly ridiculing an important theme of historical prominence I still bow in awe admiration yet lodge my own angle perspective whereas the two grand master’s problem was not what I would behold in my eyes and my soul in full radiance but that they chose not to consider each others contrasting beauty as compliment complement Leonardo Angelo Michel Da Vinci 01st September 2016
