Getty Website, a website for art lovers, replicates the Spotify “Wrapped” list for their art pieces and artists in 2020 year. On the top of most viewed artwork for the 2020 year was the famous piece of “Irises” by Van Gogh. His story is fascinating because of the mental illnesses he struggled with which led to his suicide but on the other hand because of those struggles, he became an icon for Western Art with his pieces being exhibited all across the globe.

That’s cool that they make a list similar to Spotify. I wish I could keep track of my own art viewing habits in the same way. I’ve always loved this piece — I bought a notebook with it on the cover when I visited the Getty a couple years ago!
