A 3D Exploration of Picasso’s Guernica
Written by Amitai Sasson on December 29, 2009In 1937 During the Spanish Civil War; the Fascists devastated the peaceful town of Guernica with aerial bombings executed by the Natzi Luftwaffe.
Picasso’s painting the Guernica, was his reaction to the tragedy.
The following is an amazingly detailed 3D representation of the painting, an amazing work by Lena Gieseke:
I had the pleasure of visiting the Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid this summer, the home of the Guernica. It was one of the most amazing and heartfelt encounters I have ever had with a piece of art. The massive scale and the vivid terror the painting entrenches over you are hard to describe.
