Is Guernica really a mural? It's a very large canvas, not a painting on a wall. - Montréalais 21:52, 24 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Six days after the bombing of Guernica PP began work on mural for the Spanish Pavillion of the International Exhibition in Paris held in summer of 1937. PP accepted commission from Spanish govt in January 1937 to paint mural (11 feet 6 in high by 25 feet 8 in long) for Spanish pavillion but no topic decided upon. Bombing in April provided him with topic. Painted in near monochrome (shades of grey with some purplish and bluish and brownish tints). Very well documented painting. 45 preliminary studies and 7 photographs of mural at various stages show evolution of painting."
