Great minds there were in the Renaissance, Through eons , unsurpassed, with little advance. Greatness was embodied in the works of art, In Lorenzo's gardens did Michelangelo start. But great there was one of Mona Lisa fame, Master painter, inventor - Leonardo his name. Contemporaries for sure, one really wonders Of the two, whose work steals the thunders. David, the Pieta, Sistine Chapel, and more Everlasting they are through ages sure. But then there's the Lisa, Last Supper, inventions galore. On their ingenuity and genius, the world lays great store. Can genius be bestowed in multiple men? Can peace and tranquility be shared even then? Can two kings sit and reign on one throne? Or squabble and fight like two dogs with one bone? And so, these men of unparallel fame Were set by chance a mischievous game. Asked they were to adorn the Council Hall With paintings to settle rankings once and for all. With gusto did the two set about A Battle each to prove their clout. Leonardo chose the battle of Anghiari; Battle of Cascina was Michelangelo's quarry. Great was the strife between the two, Each strove hard for the other to outdo. Of the rivalry ,I heard, - the worst of all, Art was the victim - and the two took a fall. Relates the great chronicler Vasari,Giorgio, That the nadir of art was seen in the Palazzo Vecchio As each of the greats thought little of their craft But dallied and diddled, till the populace all laughed. The Cascina on naked bathing soldiers was based On the banks of the Arno it was placed. But the scene that was rendered was so ludicrous That his work, sadly, bordered on the ridiculous. Leonardo's Anghiari was a shade grim But his chances to greatness was very slim. He used oils from Pliny the Elder's recipe But soon these flaked , were smudgy, and drippy. Be that as it may To Art's great dismay What should have been great works Were diminished by Rivalry's quirks. Vasari painted over these objets de art And replaced these with his own from the start. Now conservators do scan, to see if they can, Which of the two, Leonardo or Michelangelo, was The painter of the elusive Magnum Opus. ~18 Jun 2016~
