  1. TOP 10 MOST FAMOUS PAINTINGS IN THE WORLD ARTPRINTSAUSTRALIA.COM.AU

  2. CONTENT 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 MONALISA THE LAST SUPPER THE STARRY NIGHT THE SCREAM GUERNICA THE KISS GIRL WITH A PEARL EARRING LAS MENINAS

  3. MONALISA Artist: Leonardo da Vinci Estimated date: 1503 to 1519 Where to see it: Louvre Museum (Paris) It should come as no surprise that the most famous painting in the world is that mysterious woman with the enigmatic smile. But that’s one of the few certainties about this work of art.

  4. THE LAST SUPPER Leonardo, the original “Renaissance Man,” is the only artist to appear on this list twice. Painted in an era when religious imagery was still a dominant artistic theme, “The Last Supper” depicts the last time Jesus broke bread with his disciples before his crucifixion. Artist: Leonardo da Vinci Estimated date: 1495 to 1498 Where to see it: Santa Maria delle Grazie (Milan, Italy)

  5. THE STARRY NIGHT Artist: Vincent van Gogh Date: 1889 Where to see it: Museum of Modern Art (New York City) The comparatively abstract painting is the signature example of van Gogh’s innovative and bold use of thick brushstrokes. The painting’s striking blues and yellows and the dreamy, swirling atmosphere have intrigued art lovers for decades.

  6. THE SCREAM Artist: Edvard Munch Date: 1893 Where to see it: National Museum (Oslo, Norway – opening in 2020) and Munch Museum (Oslo – through May 2020) First things first – “The Scream” is not a single work of art. According to a British Museum’s blog, there are two paintings, two pastels and then an unspecified number of prints. The paintings reside in the National Museum and the Munch Museum, and in 2012, one of the pastels sold for almost $120 million at auction.

  7. GIRL WITH A PEARL EARRING Artist: Johannes Vermeer Estimated date: 1665 Where to see it: Mauritshuis (The Hague, Netherlands) This intriguing favorite often gets compared with the “Mona Lisa.” Besides the stylistic differences, technically “Girl With a Pearl Earring” isn’t even a portrait, but a “tronie” – a Dutch word for a painting of an imaginary figure with exaggerated features.

  8. LAS MENINAS Artist: Diego Velázquez Date: 1656 Where to see it: Museo del Prado (Madrid) Housed at the popular (and vast) Prado, “Las Meninas” is not only Diego Velázquez`s most famous painting, it’s also one of his largest. The complexity of the work has fascinated art critics and the public for centuries.
