According to the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Pablo Picasso specifically painted Guernica after German aircraft dropped explosives on a Basque town of the same name, but the sheer size of the mural was a reference to the scale of the Spanish Civil War at large. It also served as a warning for what was to come in World War II, at which point Picasso lent the painting to New York’s Museum of Modern Art until Spanish democracy was restored.
