The sadness of guernica

The first time when i saw the Picasso´s Guernica was nine years ago, when i had to do a research about the meaning of the different symbols in the picture. And how shocked  I was when all the
picture tried to represent the sadness and the despair of the war, the bombing of Guernica specially.

All the animals and humans drew there have a dark meaning; while the bull means darkness and brutality, the dove on the other hand means the broken peace of the war. For instance the horse represents the body dying in the course of the war, lefting for example a woman crying after the death of his son.

I´ve never lived a war, and i hope to my children also never live one, because how sad it would have been to impress this sorrow in a whole picture while all your beloved ones are dying when you can´t do anything to stop that.

 For real, it makes me tremble, and all the sadness that the picture makes me feel, it´s something to take into account, for the future lives of our beloved ones.
