1Even apart from the hyphenation question, this version suggests that you are a painter or filmmaker, and that of all your works this is the one that your public loves most. If your meaning is instead that the picture in question is the one that you love most, the usual term is favorite.– Brian DonovanCommented Dec 24, 2019 at 11:01

In this situation "loved" is an adjective and generally, it's not good to merge "most" and an adjective by a "-".
So, the answer is, "the most loved".
