Christopher Columbus was Catholic. Some historians believe he was a converso, a convert from Judaism.

Gabriele Zaccagnini has written:

'Il beato Domenico da Pisa, converso del monastero di S. Michele in Borgo'

Michel Host has written:

'Roxane'

'Images de l'empire'

'Les attentions de l'enfance'

'Converso, ou, La fuite au Mexique'

He might have had some Jewish ancestors who converted to Catholicism back in the 15th century when Jews were being threatened with expulsion from Spain -- a lot of Spaniards probably had "converso" ancestors. But no, Picasso had no recent Jewish ancestry.
