We understand from the passage that Michelangelo's view concerning the relative merits of painting and sculpture ----.
During the Renaissance, especially in the sixteenth
century, it was customary to debate the preeminence
of the arts, particularly as between painting
and sculpture. The more commonly accepted opinion
is represented by Benvenuto Cellini, who thought
that sculpture is eight times as great as any other art
based on drawing, because a statue has eight views
and they must all be equally good. A painting, he
said, is nothing better than the image of a tree, man,
or other object. In fact, the difference between
painting and sculpture is as great as between a
shadow and the object casting it. Leonardo, on the
other hand, thought that painting is superior to
sculpture because it is more intellectual. By this he
meant that as a technique it is infinitely more subtle
in the effects that it can produce, and infinitely wider
in the scope it offers to invention or imagination.
Michelangelo, when the question was referred to
him, in his wise and direct way said that things which
have the same end are themselves the same, and
that therefore there could be no difference between
painting and sculpture except differences due to
better judgment and harder work.
