Pablo Picasso’s The Three Dancers

Discover the story behind one of Picasso’s best known artworks

This picture is more complicated than it first appears. What seems to be an exhuberant celebration of life is in fact a savage dance of death.

This is a painting about raw emotions. Lust, guilt and grief, painted at a time when Picasso had fallen out of love with his first wife.

It also may tell the story of a violent love triangle.
