Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie (with the Chapelle Mas Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie) near Mougins where Pablo Picasso lived since 1961. The house was once owned by the Plunket family who gave the painter an Afghan hound called Kaboul as a moving-in present. When Pablo Picasso had filled the available rooms with his paintings and drawings, he had the terrace (left) covered to give him space for two more large studios. His bedroom was on the top floor, the living rooms and studio on the ground floor. Mougins 1962. - Photo by Edward Quinn

A view of Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie near Mougins, 1962. Tall cypress trees rise up the sun-drenched, terraced hillside, surrounding the villa where Pablo Picasso lived from 1961. The property includes the Chapelle Notre-Dame-de-Vie, visible with its simple bell tower. To create more room for his work, Picasso eventually had the main villa's terrace covered to create two large new studios, with his private bedroom remaining on the top floor.
