While any answer to this question is subjective, I think leading contenders for a "Top 20" list of famous Western paintings would include:
The Mona Lisa by Leonardo da vinci
The Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci
Guernica by Picasso
Les Demoiselles by Picasso
Sistine Chapel ceiling by Michelangelo
Henri Matisse's The Red Room (Harmony in Red)
Autumn Rhythm by Jackson Pollock
Luncheon of the Boating Party by Renoir
Le Concert champetre (Pastoral Concert) by Titian
Impressionism: Sunrise by Monet -------------------------------------------------- I agree that this is a highly subjective question, but here is my two cents: Starry Night and The Mona Lisa, simply because they are so instantly recognized and a part of pop culture. If you ask the random stranger off the street to name a famous painting, odds are that those would be the top picks. In fact, Starry Night Van Gogh and Mona Lisa Da Vinci have over one and a half million hits combined.
