Contextualising

If I understood the brief, we need to look at a few things in relation to Picasso's Guernica
  • The tradition of paintings commemorating  military events
  • Contemporary reports of the bombing of Guernica
  • The Spanish Civil War?
  • Picasso's previous paintings
  • More modern depictions of war?
Can anyone think of anything else?
