Guernica is a painting of Pablo Picasso. It was created in response to the bombing of Guernica, a Basque Country village in northern Spain by German and Italian warplanes at the behest of the Spanish Nationalist forces, on 26 April 1937, during the Spanish Civil War. The Spanish Republican government commissioned Picasso to create a large mural for the Spanish display at the Paris International Exposition at the 1937 World’s Fair in Paris.

Claude Monet is one of the great impressionist painters. This wonderful pastoral scene encapsulates the essence of how the impressionists captured the beauty and simplicity of nature.

Notice also how the humans are but a sideshow to the overall picture.
