What is the most famous painting?
In Western art, Manet's 'Olympia' is one painting that was controversial in it's own time. This is a subjective answer because there will always be controversial art. 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. This however does not touch on the numerous other Eastern or Indian pieces of art, and demonstrates the difficulty in choosing one specific piece of art.

Answer:
On the web several firms are advertizing prints by 'Brunozetti'. However nowhere is any information about this painter to be found. One print, different from most of the ones for sale, is examined closer, and it is a paraphrase on Leonardo's last supper. This rules out the possibility of a painter in the 13th century. Whatever, he is not a well-known painter, listed in any encyclopedic work or art history.
