Photographed in 1960, the Château de Vauvenargues—Pablo Picasso's home from 1959 to 1962—is perched on a hill in the foothills of Mont Sainte-Victoire. The great square building, with origins in the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries, is set above a terraced garden and a low stone wall. It stands against a serene Provençal backdrop of rolling, tree-covered mountains that fade into a hazy distance near Aix-en-Provence.
