What Makes a Painting ‘Famous’ or ‘Forgotten’?

A painting becomes famous when many people talk about it, and it stays remembered for a long time. Imagine you draw a picture that your class loves, it might hang in the hallway forever. But if no one talks about it anymore, it could be forgotten like an old eraser in a drawer. Sometimes, a painting can become famous because of a story or how it looks compared to others.
