Pablo Picasso’s monumental mural, “War and Peace,” covers the vault of the Temple of Peace in Vallauris, 1961. Framed by a heavy stone archway, the dramatically lit chapel reveals the powerful composition. At the far end, a semicircular panel depicts four interlocked figures holding a dove, suggesting the unity of mankind. In the foreground, a woman in a striped skirt observes the artwork, while a brightly illuminated couple sits in the background, absorbed by the scene.
