Statues and Fountains in a Park Jigsaw Puzzle Game

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.

The Concert

This beautiful puzzle is based on a oil on canvas painting by one of the greatest painters of the Dutch Golden Age, Gerrit van Honthorst (1592–1656) The painting was first mentioned in a 1632 inventory of one of the Prince of Orange’s palaces in The Hague. The painting depicts musicians playing their instruments at concert while following the instruction of their bandleader. The underling political message was that, like in music, in society harmony can be achieved when the guidance of the leader is followed.

Two Sisters

This new puzzle is based on an 1881 oil-on-canvas painting by French artist Pierre-Auguste Renoir called the "Two Sisters" or "On the Terrace". The painting depicts a young woman and her younger sister seated outdoors with a small basket containing balls of wool. Renoir worked on the painting on the terrace of the Maison Fournaise, a restaurant located on an island in the Seine in Chatou, the western suburb of Paris.

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.

Meadow with Animals

Today's beautiful puzzle is based on an oil on canvas painting by Jan van Ravenswaay - a 19th-century landscape painter from the Northern Netherlands. The painting depicts animals grazing and resting on a grassy meadow. You can see a couple of horses in one corner, a young shepherd boy resting with his goats and cows in the foreground and event some cute ducks swimming in a small pond in the bottom right corner.

A Month's Darning

Today's puzzle is based on Enoch Wood Perry's 1876 painting with the same name. The painting depicts a young woman sitting by a window darning. If you didn't know, darning is a sewing technique for repairing holes or worn areas in fabric or knitting. The painting is called A Month's Daring because, in the original painting (not visible in this puzzle), by her side she has a basket full of clothes and socks that need fixing.

First Steps, after Millet

This puzzle is based on Vincent van Gogh's painting called "First Steps, after Millet". While a patient at the asylum in Saint-Remy, Van Gogh painted twenty-one copies after Millet, an artist he greatly admired. The painting depicts a fenced-in garden behind a house and two parents encouraging their child to walk for the first time.

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.

Washerwoman

This new puzzle is based on Pissaro's 1893 painting, "A Washerwoman at Eragny". The washerwoman in Pissarro's painting is hard at work, scrubbing clothing in one barrel and rinsing them out in another. Before the invention of electricity and washing machines this is the way most people used to clean their clothes. It was hard work and it took a lot more time than today. If you didn't already know, a washerwoman or laundress is a woman who takes in laundry. These terms are now old-fashioned.
