this is my favorite painting. it is displayed in the contemporary art museum of Madrid, Museo de la Reina Sofia, in an exhibit called "la iluminacion de la Guernica". shining light directly at the painting would cause the painting to fade over time. instead the 11 feet tall 26 foot wide canvas hangs over a white platform, lights shine at the platform which then reflect upon the painting, in effect illuminating la Guernica. Picasso painted this in 1937 after the Nazi German bombing of the civilian town Guernica in the Basque Country of Spain.
i can relate to this song and this painting in similar ways.
