Château de Vauvenargues, where Pablo Picasso lived from 1959-62, in the foothills of Mont Sainte-Victoire, near Aix-en-Provence. A great square building dating from the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries, against a Provençal backdrop. Vauvenargues 1960.

The Château de Vauvenargues, Pablo Picasso’s residence from 1959 to 1962, is captured in its sprawling Provençal setting in 1960. The great square building, dating from the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries, sits sunlit on a forested hill. Below, terraced gardens descend into the valley, while in the distance, the pale peaks of Mont Sainte-Victoire stretch across the horizon under a vast blue sky. The corner of a vintage car is visible on the far left, suggesting the viewpoint from a nearby road.
