Picassoren “Guernica” horma-irudia
Landmark
Open Details
In June of 1937, only a few months after the tragic bombing of the town of Guernica by Nazi Forces, the artist Pablo Picasso was commissioned to paint a mural depicting the scene of the war and the impact on the people.
The mural, now a world famous painting hanging in the Sofia Reina Museum in Madrid, only took three weeks for the artist to finish.
It is now a symbol of the tragedy of all wars.
The mural you are seeing here is a reproduction.
