    most famous painting and best painter

    well most of the people will say mona lisa but lets say that one doesnt count...what is in your world the most famous painting and which painter is the best painter?

    i ask this because the 'nachtwacht' from rembrandt was recently moved and it was on national news and stuff... who know the 'nachtwacht' ?

        Most famous one is probably Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci...personally from what I have seen of it it seems a little drab and boring. Give me some Salvador Dali any day...

          mona lisa is out? then let me see... that one on the Sistine Chapel where God creates man, by Michelangelo, perhaps.

          now, best painter? there is not a "best" painter.

              There's no one single best painter, but the most famous one is probably Picasso.

                Most famous painting? Well, the Night Watch is up there but not iconic enough. If Mona Lisa is out the most "popular culture" painting has to be either Alex's or atawa's choices, or possibly "The Scream" by Edward Munch.

                  Alex already mentioned the only other 'famous' painting. The sad truth is that most people couldnt even name another painting, wouldnt know the names of more than a handfull of the most famous painters, and wouldnt recognize or appreciate their work if they saw it.

                  IMO even many people who claim a knowledge of art merely regurgitate the pap they've been force fed without thought.

                        i really like "het lam Gods" (the lamb of God) painted by the Van Eyck brothers. It took them 40 years but the result is one of the wonders of the world ...

                          Nobody mentioned the very famous "Dogs Playing Poker" painting.
