But Guernica's timing was critical to its later success.
但是《格爾尼卡》的展出時機(jī)對其后來的成功至關(guān)重要。

And when the world did descend into war, the painting came to symbolize the massacre and horror that humankind ever faced.
當(dāng)世界真的陷入戰(zhàn)爭時,這幅畫象征著人類曾經(jīng)面臨的屠殺和恐怖。
After the war, the painting was eventually returned to Madrid in 1981, eight years after Picasso's death.
戰(zhàn)爭結(jié)束后,這幅畫最終在1981年,也就是畢加索去世8年后,被歸還給了馬德里。
Today Guernica remains a powerful symbol against war.
