Young Girls at the Piano

Today's puzzle is based on a painting by Auguste Renoir. This painting depicting two young girls at the piano in a bourgeois home was made in 1892 for a new museum in Paris, the Musee du Luxembourg, which was to be devoted to the work of living artists. Renoir painted three other variations of this composition in oil and two sketches, one in oil and one in pastel.

Luncheon of the Boating Party

This new puzzle is based on Pierre-Auguste Renoir's painting "Luncheon of the Boating Party" (1881; French: Le déjeuner des canotiers). The painting depicts a group of Renoir's friends relaxing on a balcony at the Maison Fournaise restaurant along the Seine river in Chatou, France. The painting was included in the Seventh Impressionist Exhibition in 1882 and it was identified as the best painting in the show by critics.

Landscape, Bridge, Huntingdon Valley

Another beautiful art themed puzzle is here. This new one is based on H. Lyman Sayen 1915/1916 oil on canvas painting : " Landscape, Bridge, Huntingdon Valley". If you didn't know, Sayen (1875 -1918) was an American pioneer in the design of x-ray tubes who also distinguished himself as an abstract artist.

The Large Plane Trees

Another art themed puzzle is here. Also known as the "Road Menders at Saint-Remy", the painting that today's puzzle is based on depicts roadwork taking place underneath some large plane trees on a autumn day. In actuality, "The Large Pane Trees" (the one featured in this puzzle) and the "Road Menders of Saint-Remy" are two different paintings and are sometimes confused as one. Although similar, Van Gogh painted this one first on a red and white checkered table cloth and later painted it again on an actual canvas.

Still Life with a Ginger Jar and Eggplants

This beautiful and challenging jigsaw puzzle is based on a painting by Paul Cezanne, a French artist and Post-Impressionist painter. For this still life painting Cezanne used a variety of familiar objects that are featured in some of his other still life paintings. For example the ginger jar, is featured in more than a dozen paintings from the same period.

View of Olinda, Brazil

Today we're going back in time and visiting Olinda, Brazil in 1662. This puzzle is based on an oil on canvas painting Frans Jansz Post. It depicts Olinda Cathedral (damaged when the Dutch captured the region from the Portuguese in the 1630s) in the background and a variety of indigenous animals, plants, birds and even insects in the foreground. Put the pieces back together and see how many animals and plants can you spot. Have fun!

The Siesta

Today's puzzle is based on The Siesta, an 1892-1894 oil on canvas painting by Paul Gauguin. The picture depicts a group of Tahitian women in westernized clothes chatting in the cool shade of a verandah during the hot afternoon sun. It was painted during Gauguin's first extended trip to the island of Tahiti.

The Basket of Apples

This new puzzle is based on Paul Cezanne 1893 painting "The Basket of Apples". This painting contains one of Cezanne's signature tilted tables, an impossible rectangle with no right angles. On the table you can see a basket of apples, a bottle of wine, a folded tablecloth and a plate of cookies. The painting is particularly remarkable for its creative composition, which rejected realistic representation in favor of distorting objects to create multiple perspectives.

View of the Gulf of Pozzuoli from Solfatara

This new puzzle is base on a painting by the German artist Philipp Hackert(1737-1807) and it features a view of the Gulf of Pozzuoli from Solfatara (an area of volcanic steam vents). The Gulf of Pozzuoli is a small gulf in the northwestern end of the Gulf of Naples in the Tyrrhenian Sea. The countryside around Naples was very popular with 18th and 19th century painters due to its dramatic and impressive landscapes, volcanoes and classical ruins.

Basket of Pears and Crabapples

This new puzzle is based on "Basket of Pears and Crabapples", an oil painting created by American artist John F. Francis in the 19th century. The painting is a still life depiction of a basket filled with ripe pears and crabapples arranged on a table against a neutral background. The composition of the painting is simple and straightforward, with the basket and fruit taking up most of the canvas. However, Francis's use of light and shadow adds depth and dimension to the painting, creating a sense of realism and presence that draws the viewer in.
