La Guernica
Pablo Picasso‘s La Guernica may just be one of the most famous modern art masterpieces in the world, and you can see it at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía. The painting’s sheer size makes an immediate impression (it’s approximately 11 feet tall and 25 feet wide), depicting the horrors of the Spanish Civil War. Created in Picasso’s signature geometric patterned style in 1937, you can find a horse, a lamp and several people. It’s chaotic and overwhelming, and you may never get sick of looking at it.
