Botticelli vs. da Vinci

I see a lot of differences between the two. Personally I like da Vinci a lot more. I see more of a complex to da Vincis work. Botticelli is more into the gods and that also is an interesting prospective because normally when you think of the gods you would think these huge amazing people but they look just like humans. da Vinci is more into God and the Christian belief. The last supper to me is an extrodinary painting because just how everything leads to Jesus. But with both of the artists you can see that the focus is all to the person in the middle. The only painting that may have another main focuse is the Adoration of the Magi because Botticelli placed himself in the picture, but facing us instead of the main focus. He is trying very hard to get his face out there and known. Its not so bad because back then there was nothing to send around about you, that you created that picture. He could have tried a differnt way to get known, maybe a self portrait.
