‘Michelangelo, Leonardo and Raphael raised the artist and his art to a position of esteem. At the same time their impossibly high levels of achievement made it difficult for succeeding artists to follow in their footsteps or to attempt to surpass them. The “anticlassic style”, as it has been called, emerged in their own lifetime and in some of Raphael’s late works and provide one of the sources of Mannerism.*

‘By 1513[ce],** when [Pope] Julius II died and Leo X was elected pope, the three great artists of the Florentine-Roman High Renaissance became involved in projects that diverted them from the paths they had marked out.’
