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.

A wide view of Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie near Mougins in 1962, the sprawling hillside estate where Pablo Picasso lived from 1961. The large, vine-covered villa sits centrally below the small Chapelle Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie, its square bell tower rising against a backdrop of dark cypress trees. To accommodate his prolific work after moving in, Picasso enclosed a terrace to create two additional large studios. The Mediterranean landscape is terraced, dotted with smaller tiled-roof buildings and lush foliage, including a single palm tree.
