This painting, “ Tragedy”, was painted by Picasso in his early twenties. From 1901 to 1904 was called the Blue period in Picasso paintings. In this period, all the paintings were painted in a pale, cold blue.

In this period, the blue shade in his paintings portrayed the sight of human misery, and expressed this feeling in sober, ascetic, austere works.
