Guernica’ (Pablo Picasso, 1937)

Many art critics regard ‘Guernica’ (1937) by Pablo Picasso as the most powerful anti-war piece in art history, housed in Museo Reina Sofía in Madrid. This was painted in response to the carpet-bombing regime to address the injustice of bombing innocent civilians. However, Picasso didn’t witness the bombing firsthand; it is said that the inspiration for this painting was taken from an article written by South African-British journalist George Steer for The Times.
