Should be "most popular artists on a site dedicated to academically trained
painters."  That's what their site description says.  Which means most
popular within a preselected sample of viewers interested in academic
painters.  I also liked their reference to the "modernist propaganda
machine."  If you believe that Bouguereau is the most popular artist of all
time then we need to talk. :-)
