O ' Brian also wrote detailed biographies of Sir Joseph Banks, an English naturalist who took part in Cook's first voyage ( and who appears briefly in O ' Brian's Aubrey-Maturin series ), and Pablo Picasso.

His biography of Picasso is a massive and comprehensive study of the artist.

Picasso lived for a time in Collioure, the same French village as O ' Brian, and the two came to be acquainted there.
