Botticelli and da Vinci

Botticelli's artwork appears to contains a religious and mythological perspective. In the "Adoration of the Magi," it includes baby Jesus being held by Mary, surrounded by the Medici family. In the "Allegory of Spring" and the "Birth of Venus," the main emphasis of the paintings are in the mythological perspective, which contain gods and goddesses.
Da Vinci's artwork is more focused on the religious perspective. The artworks such as the "Madonna of the Rocks" and the "Last Supper" contain many religious figures.
There are many differences between the two artists. Da Vinci uses perspective in his paintings, such as the Last Supper. His paintings are smooth and and has a smokey atmosphere. Botticelli's artwork is more defined and bright. He uses both dark and light colors, which make the objects of his paintings stand out more.
