I'm disappointed Spain isn't the jesus portrait restoration gone wrong. That shit is hilarious.
I'm honestly suprised Guernica is the most famous. I just asked all of my friends (all Spanish) and got a good mix of Goya, Velázquez and El Greco. Maybe Picasso is known more outside of Spain than it is to Spaniards?

Small detail : Icelandic þ is pronounced θ like in think, it's common to write Þingvellir as Thingvellir, writing it as Pingvellir makes no sense :p
It's kind of like using Cyrillic И as a stylised N when it's pronounced completely different.
Edited!
It's not like artwork is a folk artform OP, where are the artists names!?
I still can’t bring myself to forgive Freidrich for being unable to go anywhere in nature without some twat standing in a yoga pose or sitting in a lotus position on every rock for a photo, as far as the eye can see.
Here you go.
Hünengrab unter den Eichen oder so
You know Scotland has its own artists, pretty renowned, so does Wales. Turner even painted some Scottish landscapes of it had to be Turner... The monarch of the Glen or The skating reverend, maybe The last of the Clan... could've picked anything, The Wasail by Charles Rene MacIntosh...
As a Swede, yeah got that piece from a magazine ages ago, got it om the wall of the shithouse at our summer cottage.
Really Liechtenstein? Nothing?

Unlike the Vatican of course, which has plenty of space ;)
San Marino isn't even listed
What are the exact criteria? Famous to the local people or famous to the global audience?
