The Stones "Greatest Hits" is not translated literally by "Grandes Exitos" which means only "Great Successes". For "Greatest" it would be "Exitos Mas Grandes" but the record companies feel that simply "Grandes Exitos" has more zing.
Esta pintura es lo más grandioso del trabajo de este artista
...o más simple: Esta pintura es lo más grandioso de su trabajo
or in music: The Rolling Stones - "Greatest Hits"
is: The Rolling Stones - Grandes Éxitos
la obra más grande
The way to say "-est" in Spanish is to say "the more [adjective]".
