Warplanes of the German Condor Legion, commanded by Colonel Wolfram von Richthofen, bombed Guernica for about two hours. 


The theme was the spanish civil war 

The piece also acts as an anti war statement because, ... The oversized mural is painted in black and grey tones. The symbolism of the painting is complicated, but the key factors that one takes away from this piece are the suffering and human pain. the image doesn't glorify victory or heroism; rather it highlights the impact of war's destructive nature. The usage of black, grey and white symbolises life, in between and death respectively. White is life, black is death, and also the rest, which is that the present, is grey.

Guernica basically shows the tragedies of war and the suffering it inflicts upon many individuals, particularly innocent civilians during the time.

Some history behind Guernica is that it was a town in the province of Biscay in Basque Country. During the Spanish Civil War, it was shown as the northern bastion of the Republican resistance movement and the epicenter of Basque culture.
