Probably Bruegels The Procession to Calvary, I think its a really impactful moment how at first when you view the painting(assuming you don't already know the title and what its about) you're in the same position as the rowdy crowds, unaware of what is occurring right in the middle of them, but then you start piecing things together and understanding.
I also like Hunters in the Snow from the same painter, its also very beautiful and has a huge amount of detail put into it, but it doesnt have the same kind of "ooooh shit" moment from realizing exactly what is going on as Procession has.
I love the sort of fisheye perspective of The Procession to Calvary and how it does exactly what you said by emphasising and enlarging not the subject but the people like us around the edges before slowly drawing you into the centre and the realisation of what's happening.
I used to have a print of Hunters in the Snow on my halway wall.
