Did Leonardo da Vinci know Raphael or Michelangelo?
Yes. Although they may have varied in age, all three painters crossed paths. When the pope asked for the greatest painters of Florence to work on the Sistine Chapel, Botticelli, Raphael, Bernini and Michelangelo were sent, but Leonardo was not. This was a sore spot for Leonardo as it was a prestigoius job. He did, however, meet both artists in Florence.
