Picasso''s oil painting masterpiece Guernica is now the subject of a stunning piece of 3D visual graphics created by New York artist Lena Gieseke.

The original 7.82m by 3.51m work, originally presented at the Paris International Exhibition in 1937, is a powerful depiction of the Nazi Luftwaffe''s aerial bomb attack on the Biscay town of Gernika-Lumo on 26th April in the same year, in support of Franco''s nationalist cause during the Spanish civil war.

The painting currently occupies an important space in Madrid''s Reina Sofia Art museum. It is a piece typical of Picasso: abstract and defined more by emotion than reality, yet poignantly lacking in colour, painted entirely in black, white and greys.

Unashamedly anti-war, this latest technique, deftly handled by digital infographics expert, Gieseke, allows a never-before-seen perspective on Guernica: now, the most imperceptible details can be seen, appreciated and digested in one beautiful if melancholy journey around Picasso''s 80-year-old tour de force.
