“Guernica” by Pablo Picasso
▪The overall scene is within a room
where, at an open end on the left, a
wide-eyed bull stands over a woman
grieving over a dead child in her arms.
▪The center is occupied by a horse
falling in agony as it had just been run
through by a spear or javelin.
It is important to note that the large
gaping wound in the horse's side is a
major focus of the painting.
▪Two "hidden" images formed by the
horse appear in Guernica:
▪A human skull overlays the horse's
body.
▪A bull appears to gore the horse from
underneath. The bull's head is formed
mainly by the horse's entire front leg
which has the knee on the ground. The
leg's knee cap forms the head's nose. A
horn appears within the horse's breast.
▪The bull's tail forms the image of a
flame with smoke rising from it,
seemingly appearing in a window
created by the lighter shade of gray
surrounding it.
▪Under the horse is a dead, apparently
dismembered soldier; his hand on a severed arm
still grasps a shattered sword from which a flower
grows.▪On the open palm of the dead soldier is a
stigma, a symbol of martyrdom derived from the
stigmata of Christ.▪A light bulb blazes in the
shape of an evil eye over the suffering horse's
head (the bare bulb of the torturer's cell.)
Picasso's intended symbolism in regards to this
object is related to the Spanish word for lightbulb;
"bombilla", which makes an allusion to "bomb"
and therefore signifies the destructive effect
which technology can have on society.[

▪To the upper right of the horse, a
frightened female figure, who seems to be
witnessing the scenes before her, appears to have
floated into the room through a window. Her arm,
also floating in, carries a flame-lit lamp. The lamp
is positioned very close to the bulb, and is a
symbol of hope, clashing with the
lightbulb.▪From the right, an awe-struck woman
staggers towards the center below the floating
female figure. She looks up blankly into the
blazing light bulb.▪Daggers that suggest
screaming replace the tongues of the bull,
grieving woman, and horse.▪A bird, possibly a
dove, stands on a shelf behind the bull in
panic.▪On the far right, a figure with arms raised
in terror is entrapped by fire from above and
below.▪A dark wall with an open door defines the

It is important to note that the large gaping wound in the horse's side is a major focus of the painting. ▪Two "hidden" images formed by the horse appear in Guernica: ▪A human skull overlays the horse's body. ▪A bull appears to gore the horse from underneath. The bull's head is formed mainly by the horse's entire front leg which has the knee on the ground. The leg's knee cap forms the head's nose. A horn appears within the horse's breast. ▪The bull's tail forms the image of a flame with smoke rising from it, seemingly appearing in a window created by the lighter shade of gray surrounding it. ▪Under the horse is a dead, apparently dismembered soldier; his hand on a severed arm still grasps a shattered sword from which a flower grows.▪On the open palm of the dead soldier is a stigma, a symbol of martyrdom derived from the stigmata of Christ.▪A light bulb blazes in the shape of an evil eye over the suffering horse's head (the bare bulb of the torturer's cell.)

She looks up blankly into the blazing light bulb.▪Daggers that suggest screaming replace the tongues of the bull, grieving woman, and horse.▪A bird, possibly a dove, stands on a shelf behind the bull in panic.▪On the far right, a figure with arms raised in terror is entrapped by fire from above and below.▪A dark wall with an open door defines the
