Guernica is black and white, 3.5 metre (11 ft) tall and 7.8 metre (25.6 ft) wide, a mural-size canvas painted in oil. This painting can be seen in the Museo Reina Sofía in Madrid. Picasso's purpose in painting it was to bring to the world's attention the bombing of the Basque town of Guernica by German bombers, who were supporting the Nationalist forces of General Franco during the Spanish Civil War, on April 26, 1937. Even thought, he painted with without a purpose. People hinted that the bull and the horse had a purpose and this is try if you look it with a purpose and not a remberrance of a bombing. This is also one of many paintings painters made to show or rember history.
One of the world's most famous paintings and highlights the end of the European influence in Modern Art.
