9. Michelangelo
The difference between the works of art of this man and Da Vinci is merely the style though both men mastered art- the former has a greater influence on modern art and Western art today. This man had the nerves to paint while hanging mid air and thus his passion for art ended up in creating a timeless painting on the ceiling. A celebrated artist of all times, Michelangelo and his works are a subject of interest amongst art students.
