The Château of Vauvenargues with main entrance and terrace. Picasso died at his hilltop villa in Mougins on Sunday 8 April 1973, at the age of 91.

After complications in labour, Picasso (who was extremely small for a child) was believed to be stillborn and left on a side table while medical staff tended to his mother.

Contrary to what James Cameron would have you believe, when the Titanic hit an iceberg on 14 April 1912, there were no Picassos or Monets aboard. The most notable work of art that succumbed to the icy waters of the Atlantic was La Circassienne au Bain (1814) by Merry-Joseph Blondel.
