Experience the joy of recreating René Magritte’s surreal Golconda with this high-quality 1000-piece puzzle designed for art lovers and puzzle enthusiasts alike.

In Belgian painter René Magritte’s sublime fashion of rendering commonplace images as extraordinary, he takes an ordinary suburban scene and transforms it into a statement, a mystery, a joke in his 1953 work, Golconda.

Nearly identical men clad in overcoats, bowler hats and apathetic expressions rain down (or float in mid-air like spectres) in precise grid-like formation against a neutral backdrop of buildings and sky. There is no indication of motion.

About René Magritte
René Magritte (born November 21, 1898, Lessines, Belgium—died August 15, 1967, Brussels) was a Belgian artist, one of the most prominent Surrealist painters, whose bizarre flights of fancy blended horror, peril, comedy, and mystery. His works were characterized by particular symbols—the female torso, the bourgeois “little man,” the bowler hat, the apple, the castle, the rock, the window, and other ordinary objects, which were often set in unusual or unsettling situations.

Experience the joy of recreating Claude Monet’s beloved Bridge over a Pond of Water Lilies with this high-quality 1000-piece puzzle designed for art lovers and puzzle enthusiasts alike.

For the last 30 years of his life, Claude Monet looked no further than his own backyard for inspiration, creating a series of approximately 250 oil paintings. Painted in 1899, Bridge over a Pond of Water Lilies represents two of his greatest achievements: his gardens at Giverny and the series of paintings they inspired.

Lush and verdant, the predominant use of cool blue and green tones in the tranquil scene are balanced by a complex pattern of delicately hued pink, white, and yellow lilies floating across the surface.

In all, there are 17 paintings depicting the Japanese-style bridge that Monet built over his pond. The structure can be seen in various lighting and weather conditions.

About Claude Monet
One of the most inspirational and influential artists of any era, 19th-century French Impressionist Claude Monet forged an entirely new direction for the art world by developing a unique style that strove to capture on canvas the very act of perceiving nature. His experimentation with natural scenes and the ever-changing nature of light and color created atmospheres that were both magical and recognizable.

Experience the joy of recreating Vincent van Gogh’s radiant Sunflowers with this high-quality 1000-piece puzzle designed for art lovers and puzzle enthusiasts alike.

Known for his bold, brilliant paintings and manic behaviour, Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh is one of the most recognizable artists in Western Art. His two series of Sunflowers are among his most famous.
The first series, executed in Paris in 1887, depicts flowers lying on the ground, while the second set, made a year later in Arles, shows a bouquet of sunflowers in a vase. What is interesting about this particular painting is that the sunflowers are wilting.
Van Gogh hung the first two paintings in his guestroom in Arles as a way to welcome – and impress – his friend, painter Paul Gauguin, when he came to stay.
One of the world’s greatest artists, Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh completed more than 2,100 works, consisting of 860 oil paintings and more than 1,300 watercolors, drawings and sketches during his decade-long career. While he only ever sold one painting in his lifetime, Van Gogh’s works are now considered priceless.

About Vincent van Gogh
Vincent van Gogh (born March 30, 1853, Zundert, Netherlands—died July 29, 1890, Auvers-sur-Oise, near Paris, France) was a Dutch post-impressionist painter who posthumously became one of the most famous and influential figures in the history of Western art.

In a decade, he created about 2,100 artworks, including around 860 oil paintings, most of which date from the last two years of his life. They include landscapes, still lifes, portraits and self-portraits, and are characterized by bold colors and dramatic, impulsive and expressive brushwork that contributed to the foundations of modern art. He was not commercially successful, and his death at 37 came after years of mental illness, depression and poverty.

Experience the joy of recreating Georges Seurat’s iconic A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte with this high-quality 1000-piece puzzle designed for art lovers and puzzle enthusiasts alike.

Georges Seurat's masterpiece, A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte is a leading example of pointillist technique. It is a founding work of the Neo-Impressionist movement.
In his largest painting, Georges Seurat depicts people relaxing in a suburban park on an island in the Seine River called La Grande Jatte. Their stillness is as enigmatic as it is fascinating.
Highly criticized and ridiculed when first exhibited in Paris, this painting is now considered Georges Seurat’s greatest work. With scientific precision, he juxtaposed tiny dabs of colors that, through optical blending, form a single and, in his opinion, more brilliantly luminous hue.

About Georges Seurat
Georges Seurat was a French post-Impressionist artist whose technique for portraying the play of light using tiny brushstrokes of contrasting colors became known as Pointillism. In a departure from intuitive Impressionism, he developed a structured, more monumental art to depict modern urban life, thus altering the direction of modern art by initiating Neo-Impressionism.

Experience the joy of recreating Vincent van Gogh’s beautiful Irises with this high-quality 1000-piece puzzle designed for art lovers and puzzle enthusiasts alike.

Plagued by mental illness throughout his life, prolific Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh chose to enter an asylum in Saint-Rémy, France in May 1889, where, in the last year before his death, he created almost 130 paintings. Irises was the first painting Van Gogh started after his arrival.

Each iris petal in the painting is unique, featuring different shading, shape and size and painted with the same precision as Van Gogh’s portraits. There is no repetition, but rather an endless variety of curved silhouettes. Only one blossom, however, is a completely different color. He paints the flowers with admiration and joy.

Experience the joy of recreating Edward Hopper’s timeless Nighthawks with this high-quality 1000-piece puzzle designed for art lovers and puzzle enthusiasts alike.

Edward Hopper’s most famous work, Nighthawks remains not only one of the most recognizable, but also relatable paintings in 20th-century American art. It has long been positioned as the iconic painting of loneliness and alienation.

The painting depicts an all-night diner in which three customers have converged, all strangers to one another. Hopper used his wife, Jo, as the model for the redheaded woman, and himself as the model for the man with his back to the viewer.

With no door to enter the diner, the viewer is left outside to witness the melancholy and isolation of three strangers unable to connect.  Hopper said of this painting: “Unconsciously, probably, I was painting the loneliness of a large city.”

About Edward Hopper

Edward Hopper is widely acknowledged as the most important realist painter of twentieth-century America. His depiction of American life, represented by evocative imagery, explores aloneness as proof of belonging. With subjects ranging from diners, hotel lobbies, offices, and theaters in New York City to country houses, churches, seascapes, and main streets of rural New England, Hopper’s work cleverly uses light with cinematic effect, never quite telling the full story.
