The 50 Most Iconic Artworks of the Past Five Years

5. Restored version of Elias Garcia Martinez's 'Ecce Homo' by Cecilia Gimenez, 2012

The Cecilia Gimenez amateur restoration of Martinez's Ecce Homo has proven to be the most popular image of Jesus Christ for 2012. Though this rendition of Ecce Homo looks nothing remotely like Jesus or any human man, Cecilia Gimenez reminds us that unabashed pride in one's work can potentially bring you fame, memes, and a legacy that will last forever.
