The Most Famous Artworks of Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya

The 60 most celebrated works of the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya museum, ranked by renown across 779 works in the catalog.

A note on the ranking: "fame" here is a measure of renown, not of merit — synthesised from how widely a work is cited and held. It leans toward the Western canon and the best-digitised collections. Read it as a popular index, not a verdict.
