I first encountered this topic while visiting Madrid in 2020, when a certain widespread phenomenon had caused most tourists to shy away from travel. It was during this time that I visited the Reina Sofia and laid eyes upon Picasso's Guernica. The painting seemed a bit too out of the way to us; we had expected it have a more outsize presence considering its fame and how much of a powerful anti-war statement it is - but no, it did not seem to enjoy announcing its presence.
