Is a more realistic painting a better painting?

The Last Supper—Da Vinci
end wall of the dining hall at the monastery of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan, Italy
• Looking across the picture from left to right:• Bartholomew, James Minor and Andrew form a group
of three. All are aghast, Andrew to the point of holding his hands up in a "stop!" gesture.
• Judas, Peter and John form the next group of three. Judas, you will note, has his face in shadow and is clutching a small bag (of silver?). Peter is visibly angry and a feminine-looking John seems about to swoon.
• Christ is the calm in the midst of the storm.• Thomas, James Major and Philip are next. Thomas is
clearly agitated, James Major stunned and Philip seems to be seeking clarification.
• Matthew, Thaddeus and Simon comprise the last group of three figures. It appears that, when a situation turns ugly, Simon is the "go to" guy for explanations.

David--Donatello
Michelangelo’s David
depicts the moments before (or after) the battle, with the slingshot placed over the left shoulder.
Andrea del Verrochio's David was commissioned by the Medici family, and popular legend states that the model for the statue was a young artist from
Verrochio's studio, Leonardo da Vinci.
The placement of Goliath's head has been the subject of debate. Some historians say that the head should be
placed between David's feet while others claim that
it belongs to the right.The statue has been exhibited using both
placements.
