About Today’s Final Jeopardy – Wednesday, 19 July 2023
Guernica portrays the anguish caused by warfare, specifically highlighting the bombing of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War by German and Italian forces aligned with Franco’s Nationalist faction.
The Spanish Republican government commissioned Picasso to create Guernica, a large mural intended for the Spanish Pavilion at the 1937 Paris International Exposition, also known as the World’s Fair.
Regarded as one of the most influential anti-war paintings in history, Guernica was belittled by the German fair guide, who described it as “hodgepodge of body parts that any four-year-old could have painted” and dismissed the mural as the hallucination of a madman.

Watch all the videos from today’s Jeopardy episode below, including highlights, behind the scenes outtakes and full episodes.
Final Jeopardy is the final round of the popular American television game show Jeopardy!, in which participants test their knowledge in numerous areas by answering questions. In Final Jeopardy, participants are given a single clue and must wager a percentage of their existing earnings based on their confidence in their ability to successfully respond.
Each contestant surreptitiously writes down their wager during the commercial break. The Final Jeopardy clue is presented when the programme resumes, and participants have 30 seconds to write down their solution in the form of a question (e.g., “What is…?”). When the timer runs out, the host, reveals each contestant’s response and wager in ascending order of their pre-Final Jeopardy scores. The scores of contestants are adjusted based on whether their response is correct or incorrect, as well as the amount wagered. At the end of the round, the contestant with the highest score is proclaimed the winner.
