"And then for a few years they go head to head, the two titans of the Italian Renaissance. And they’re very jealous of each other. They don’t particularly like each other. They are very different in personality and character, I think, in approach. But those are the years when Michelangelo makes his David. Leonardo starts painting the Mona Lisa. So it’s a very exciting moment of what we now think of as sort of the beginnings of the High Renaissance."

12. SOUNDBITE (English) Per Rumberg, chief curator, the National Gallery:
"And into that mix enters the young Raphael, who is yet a bit younger than Michelangelo. He’s in his early 20s, and he comes to Florence between 1504 and maybe on and off, we think, until 1508. But there’s a moment in 1504 when the three of them overlap and Raphael is looking over their shoulders, he comes, he says that he wants to learn from them, and we can see it play out in the mainly in the drawings in this exhibition, how he looks over their shoulder and tries to, he’s taking motifs from them and then adapts them and plays with them and turns them into his own composition."

13. Various set up shots of art critic Estelle Lovatt

"So to have the three of them together here, it’s almost like the Holy Trinity of the Italian Renaissance. It’s not just the father, the son and the Holy Ghost, but it’s Michelangelo, Leonardo and Raphael."

20. SOUNDBITE (English) Estelle Lovatt, art critic:
"So whilst they’re in competition with each other, they’re also trying to better themselves and be like rock stars who everybody would want to see. So it was really interesting. They tried to do different things. So if you like, it was Michelangelo who was almost like a film director trying to get bodies to move and be energetic and show energy and tension, almost like a Tarantino or Hitchcock, if he was alive today. And then on the other side, trying to do something different, Leonardo da Vinci is realizing that emotion doesn’t have to just come through strength like Michelangelo was showing, that it could come through emotion. So he was almost like Mario Testino, or Annie Leibovitz, trying to get emotion through portraiture."
