Guernica Detail – Pablo Picasso
Guernica Detail is a section of the painting Pablo Picasso made in 1937, held by the Museo Reina Sofía in Madrid: the horse’s scream, the lamp and women’s faces in shades of grey. We paint our hand-painted study of Guernica Detail to order on canvas, in oil or acrylic, in 8 sizes from 60 × 50 cm to 150 × 130 cm or in a custom size. Before Guernica Detail is dispatched, we send you a photo of the finished painting.
What does Guernica Detail show?
Guernica Detail shows the central part of the large painting: a horse with its mouth wide open and a pointed tongue, above it a light bulb shaped like an eye, and from the right a woman’s arm reaching through a window with a lamp. Below, a second woman drags herself towards the light, and broken limbs lie on the ground. Everything is painted in black, white and grey only, which is why Guernica Detail feels sharp and shocking – a warning against war.
How is our hand-painted study of Guernica Detail made?
Our painters paint the study of Guernica Detail by hand, with brushstrokes of different thickness, separately for every order. We paint in oil or acrylic, depending on the subject and the size, so the surface of Guernica Detail has a real paint texture that a print does not have. When Guernica Detail is finished, we photograph it and send you the photo for approval.
Which size of Guernica Detail suits your room?
For the wall above a sofa or a sideboard choose Guernica Detail in 110 × 100 cm, and for a bedroom, hallway or work corner 60 × 50 cm. Guernica Detail is available in 60 × 50 cm, 70 × 60 cm, 80 × 70 cm, 90 × 80 cm, 100 × 90 cm, 110 × 100 cm, 130 × 120 cm and 150 × 130 cm. A simple rule for Guernica Detail: it should be about two thirds as wide as the furniture below it, with its centre about 150 cm from the floor.
How does Guernica Detail arrive, and when?
We ship Guernica Detail rolled in a sturdy tube, stretched on 2.5 cm deep wooden stretcher bars, or framed – you choose when you order. Stretching and framing of Guernica Detail are done in our workshop in Slovenia. When a size of Guernica Detail is in stock, it reaches you within 6 working days; a study of Guernica Detail painted to order reaches you in 15 to 45 days.
