World's greatest painting
fiction

Our tastes change over time. But for me, since I first saw Rogier Van Der Weyden's " Descent from the cross" at the Prado in Madrid, Spain, Rogier's masterpiece is to me the greatest painting ever made.
The painting grabs the casual observer and drags them into the pathos. Mary faints, turns very pale and St John rushes to support her. Each character in the painting is all to human in a moment of extreme stress.
