Guernica est une des œuvres les plus célèbres du peintre espagnol Pablo Picasso. Il la réalisa à la suite du bombardement de la ville de Guernica qui eut lieu le 26 avril 1937, lors de la guerre d'Espagne, et qui devint rapidement un symbole de la violence de la répression franquiste avant de se convertir en symbole de l'horreur de la guerre en général. Toile monumentale s'apparentant à un puzzle aux formes démantelées caractéristique du cubisme, elle est initialement commandée pour décorer le pavillon espagnol de l'Exposition universelle de Paris de 1937 et est exposée au musée de la Reine Sofia à Madrid. Elle a été peinte à Paris.
