As contemporaries, although El Greco was only in his early twenties when Michelangelo died, I guess one would have less reverence for a fellow artist as one might have now many hundred years later.

They have no appreciation or talent for $mystyle" is an incredibly common sentiment confided to one, given some time and not necessarily a willing ear. El Greco saw himself as a master painter and colorist but Michaelangelo as just another passably capable producer of frescos and drawn bodies, a prolific grunt with no taste or style.
