Well it was painted by Leonardo da Vinci, not exactly a nobody. That alone is enough for it to be famous. He's probably more famous than the Mona Lisa.

Of course, it was already notable enough to be featured in the Louvre, but there are tens of thousands of items on display there and half a million more in storage. There's quite a gap from that standing to becoming one of the most well known paintings in history and the Louvre's #1 attraction, probably forever.
