Why was Leonardo da vinci asked to paint the 16th chapel?

Leonardo da Vinci was not asked to paint the Sistine Chapel; that work was commissioned to Michelangelo. The confusion may stem from Leonardo's prominence during the Renaissance as a master painter and polymath, but his major works were separate from the Sistine Chapel. Michelangelo's frescoes, completed between 1508 and 1512, are celebrated for their grandeur and innovation, solidifying his reputation as a leading artist of the time. Leonardo, known for masterpieces like "The Last Supper" and the "Mona Lisa," was contemporaneous with Michelangelo but did not contribute to the Sistine Chapel.
