Thanks Lea! Interesting roundup of paintings in that top-500 paintings query, and of course many I recognize from the Europeana challenge. I am also assuming that the popularity of the Mona LIsa at its lonely spot at the top of the list has to do with its early entrance as a "featured item on Wikidata". The real question is how to query the top-500 paintings used most often on Wikipedia? I think this will be somewhat different than the paintings that are chosen by Wikipedians to be the subjects of articles, which are by definition "written about the painting for the painting's sake" as opposed to "illustrating a concept with an image of a painting". If i had to guess, my assumption would be that the most used painting would be a portrait of some long-dead person with an article in many many languages. On the other hand, it could also be a painting of a ship or a romanticized painting of a battle scene. Hopefully there will be a way to make those types of queries soon!
