Hemingway moved to Cuba in 1940, purchasing a home 10 miles outside of Havana. He would name this home Finca Vigia (meaning “lookout house”) and reside there for 21 years. This painting is the face of his beloved Finca Vigia. In it, he wrote For Whom The Bell Tolls, A Movable Feast and perhaps his most popular work, The Old Man and the Sea.
Rising early to write until noon, Hemingway saw Cuba as the perfect space to explore for the latter half of his day. There were many afternoons spent in the turquoise waters of the Cuban coast fishing from his custom boat “Pilar,” and sharing nights with the locals at his preferred Havana bars.
When he left Cuba in 1960 he must have intended to come back, as everything was left as though he just stepped out the door. Finca Vigia today acts as a time capsule to the author’s life in Cuba, dedicated by the Cuban government as a Hemingway museum.
