Picasso's Birthplace and Museum
First floor, where Pablo Ruiz Picasso was born.
Plaza de la Merced, 15
The photograph shows a standing four-year-old Pablo Ruiz Picasso, wearing his school uniform and looking serious, maybe scared even. Francisco Martín Ramos had his studio in this square. A professional photographer, he had four children who became photographers as well. They were known as the Martín Oliver Brothers. Francisco Martín Ramos came to Málaga from Pruna, Seville, when he was 20. He became the most popular portrait photographer of the local society in those years.
