As mentioned before the Mona Lisa by DaVinci, I've seen it in real life and it's not as big as you would think! It's about the size of an A4 piece of paper, and unfortunately it has to be protected by glass due to people trying to deface it, which I cannot understand. The glass does visually impair it somewhat but it's still a great piece. Although as with all art pieces, a picture in a book is no match for viewing the real life thing!

It depends on what you meen by most popular. If you meen most recognizeable, it would probably be the Mona Lisa by DaVinci, as people have said. If you meen the best selling, it would be the cabin paintings of Thomas Kinkade. Kinkade is the only painter to have ever sold a million copies of his work while he was alive, and is by far the most commercially succesful painter in modern history.

Probably Mona Lisa by Leonardo Da Vinci, pretty over-rated in my opinion.
Maybe The Nightwatch by Remrandt van Rijn because of its wonderful new use of lightning.
