There are not many Picasso landscapes, which is a great shame. However, this rather wonderful example seems atypical in another way: as its accompanying text at the Artison Museum Tokyo notes, it is idealised and lyrical like a stage set; but it also exuding something close to warmth or affection, from an artist often cited for his detached coolness towards his subjects.

I would dearly love to see the view it was based on, but with the title simply Paysage, I think that is unlikely unless I should happen upon a Picasso scholar.
