Pablo Picasso painted Guernica in 1937 as a response to the Nazi bombing of the Basque village of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War. The 11x25-foot monochrome oil painting on canvas became the 20th century most powerful anti-war statement and now draws 4 million annual visitors to the Museo Reina Sofia in Madrid.
