What is the most famous painting?

Marcel Duchamp's 'Nude Descending a Staircase #2' was also very controversial when it was first shown in America at the Armory Show in 1912. Courbet's 'Origin of the World' (1866) is also a very controversial painting. In the one hundred forty years since these paintings many more controversial pieces of art have been created.
