At 13, he was admitted to a School of Fine Arts in Barcelona. In 1896, he completed ‘Portrait of Aunt Pepa’, which is considered one of the greatest works of Spain. During his life, he produced an enormous number of works of art: about 50,000 in total, including 1,885 paintings. Several paintings by Picasso rank among the most expensive paintings in the world.
