Guernica is a powerful political statement painted by the iconic artist Pablo Picasso in response to the bombing of the Basque town of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War. This grand painting stands as a monumental symbol of the tragedies of war and the suffering it inflicts upon innocents.
Measuring 3.49 meters tall and 7.76 meters wide, Guernica's stark black, white, and grey palette magnifies its intense emotional impact. Picasso's depiction includes harrowing images of people, animals, and buildings wrenched by violence and chaos.
