Guernica is a town in the province of Biscay in Basque Country. Picasso depicted an aerial bombing of the Basque town of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War. This picture is a perpetual reminder of the tragedies of war, an anti-war symbol, and an embodiment of peace. In this painting, pastoral and epic styles are mixed.
