If you could choose to have the talent of one of these artists (not saying to do the same works, but to have the talent and the means to work on your own art, but with their genius), whom would you choose?
>Michelangelo
>Da Vinci
>Bach
>Tolstoy
>Shakespeare
>Mozart
>Beethoven
>Homer (lets presume for this that he was a single individual)
>Dante
Tolstoy was happiest, so I'll go with him.
It must be amazing living life SEEING people as great as he did, being so compassionate.
jesus/mohamed/moses

Try to focus on the creative-powers, not on the life.
That said, Tolstoy is great.

Mozart probably. In terms of being good at a specific thing has anybody ever even approached him, he was like an alien

>jesus and moses
>real

Shakespeare
Language is one of the defining traces of the human race; the written word one of our most glorious inventions.
Shakespeare was the human being whose work brought language and writing nearer to the way that Gods would talk. His way of modeling language is the most beautiful in the world, and I would like to be able to do the same.
Michelangelo.
Fucker knew the Divine Comedy by heart, wrote some nice poetry and on top of that was a godly sculptor.
