10 Best Paintings in History

What are the 10 best paintings in the history of humanity? There’s no 100 percent agreement on the answer, sale given the subjective nature of art and the fact that, capsule clichés not withstanding, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Still, we at Streets decided to bring you what, in our opinion, are the 10 best works since human beings began painting. We welcome both your agreement and disagreement. Did we leave something out? Did we include a dud? Tell us about it by writing us at streets@goastreets.in!
