Pergola with Oranges Jigsaw Puzzle Game

Weaning the Calves

The scene depicted in today's puzzle is probably located on one of the pasturelands of the Pyrenees where Rosa Bonheur, the author of the painting that this puzzles is based on, took a trip there in 1850. The painting depicts some calves separated from their mother in an improvised pen. If you didn't know, weaning is the process of gradually introducing an young animal or human to what will be its adult diet while withdrawing the supply of its mother's milk. The process takes place only in mammals, the only as they are the only animals that produce milk.

Mussel Fishers at Berneval

Another art themed puzzle is here. This new one is based on Pierre-Auguste Renoir's 1879 painting called "Pêcheuses de moules à Berneval, côte normand" (Mussel-Fishers at Berneval). Renoir painted this idyllic scene of a family gathering mussels during an 1879 visit to the Normandy coast. Marine mussels are abundant in the low and mid intertidal zone in temperate seas globally. People have used mussels as food for thousands of years. There are about 17 edible species of mussels that live in saltwater or freshwater habitats.

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.

The Peasant Dance

This new puzzle is based on Pieter Bruegel the Elder's oil-on-panel painting "The Peasant Dance". The lively peasant scene provides the viewer with a glimpse of social history, but it is likely that Bruegel intended this painting to have a moral sense rather than simply being an affectionate portrayal of peasant life. The panel, neither signed nor dated, was painted circa 1567, at about the same time as "The Peasant Wedding".

An Abundance of Fruit

This beautiful and challenging jigsaw puzzle is base on an oil on canvas painting by Severin Roesen (a Prussian-American painter known for his abundant fruit and flower still lifes). As the title states the painting depicts an abundance of fruit (grapes, plums, apricots, lemons, strawberries and more) on a marble table.

Old Bruton Church

Today we're going back to the 1890s and visiting the Bruton Church in the restored area of Colonial Williamsburg in Williamsburg, Virginia. This puzzle is based on a oil on canvas painting by Alfred Wordsworth Thompson and it depicts the Bruton Parish Church. The church was constructed between 1711 and 1715. The building was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1970 as a well-preserved early example of colonial religious architecture.

The Country Store

Today's puzzle is based on the oil on canvas painting with the same name by Edward Lamson Henry (January 12, 1841 - May 9, 1919), commonly known as E.L. Henry, an American genre painter, born in Charleston, South Carolina. He was best known for themes involving transportation, especially railroads, but also stage coach and canal boat journeys and other colonial and early American themes. The Country Store was painted after he and his wife had moved in their home in Cragsmoor, New York. The painting depicts a small store on a dirt country road in the 1800s.

New England Headlands

This fun and colorful puzzle is based on an oil on canvas painting by Childe Hassam (an American Impressionist painter). The painting depicts a panoramic view of Gloucester, Massachusetts, one of Hassam's favorite destinations. Put the pieces back together and see how this beautiful destination looked in 1899, when Hassam painted this landscape. Have fun!

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 Teapot and Fruit

This puzzle is based on a painting by Paul Gauguin. It depicts a teapot and some mangoes on a table, a Tahitian-style printed cloth in the background and human figure at the upper right, viewed through a door or window. The painting tries to emulate Cezanne's "Still Life with Fruit Dish" - painting that Gauguin owned at the time.

Farmhouse in Provence

Today's puzzle is based on the 1888 painting with the same name. Also known as Entrance Gate to a Farm with Haystacks, Farmhouse in Provence is an oil-on-canvas by Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh. At the time that Van Gogh made this beautiful painting, he was 35 years old and living in Arles, in southern France. During this period he produced some of his best work, such as fields, farmhouses and people of the Arles and Avignon area. As you might of already noticed, Van Gogh used several pairs of complementary colors in the Farmhouse in Provence, the color contrast bringing an intensity to his work.

Child with Toys

This fun and challenging puzzle is based on a painting called "Child with Toys" by Auguste Renoir. The painting depicts the artist's son, Jean playing with his nanny Gabrielle. Gabrielle Renard became an important member of the family of the painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir, first becoming their nanny, and subsequently a frequent model for the artist. She developed a strong bond with the Renoirs' second son, the future filmmaker Jean Renoir (the child in this painting), lasted throughout their lives.
