Hieronymus Bosch the tempting of st antonio ricordi art stones 2000 pieces jigsaw puzzle fine art finished

MANUFACTURER: RICORDI ART STONES
NAME: THE TEMPTING OF ST. ANTONIO - BOSCH
2000 PIECES


SIZE OF PIECES: medium size
QUALITY:4/5
DIFFICULTY: hard
SIZE: 70 X 100 cm

This is a puzzle from Italian puzzle maker Ricordi Art Stones. They are known for making fine art puzzles. This puzzle features beautiful painting by Dutch painter Hieronymus Bosch. The name of the painting is The Tempting of St. Antonio. 
At first I thought that it will be easy to finish it. I started with the upper left corner and I did it in few minutes. But then I realized that the colors don't match the photo on the box. And since the painting is mostly in brown and orange tones it was really difficult to know which color belongs to which part of the painting. And really that is the only minus for this puzzle (the fact that the photo on the box and the puzzles don't match).
The quality of the puzzle is excellent. The pieces come in many interesting shapes and fit perfectly. They fit really tight and you can lift them and they will not fall apart. 

So I will say that this puzzle was really hard for me. But that is mostly because of the fact that the colors on the box don't match the puzzle pieces. Also the box is really small so it is a bit harder to find the details on the photo.

The finished puzzle looks amazing. The painting is beautiful and so interesting. And it took me one week to finish it.

This Trefl puzzle is part of their Velvet collection. Every puzzle is covered with a velvet like layer. It is pretty cool and totally different than any other puzzles that I own. 

The box is sturdy and good quality. The puzzles are medium thick and click nicely together. The finished look is smooth as you can see on the photos.
I loved doing this puzzle. It was not very difficult. The only part that was a bit harder was white/grey part. 
The finished photo is really beautiful. Color reproduction is excellent and match the photo on the box.
Overall this was a great and fun puzzle.

SIZE OF PIECES: large size
QUALITY:5/5

Beautiful nostalgic puzzle from Ravensburger. I loved this picture and decided to buy it despite the fact that the puzzle pieces were large.  
The quality is amazing as always with Ravensburger and the finished look is smooth. The pieces fit perfectly and color reproduction is excellent. Since it is only 500 pieces and the pieces are really large this was really easy to finish. It took me few hours.
Recommended for those who want large puzzle pieces.

Castorland Fairytales 1000 pieces puzzle teddy bears


MANUFACTURER: CASTORLAND
NAME: FAIRYTALES
1000 PIECES
SIZE:  68 x 47 cm

SIZE OF PIECES: medium size
QUALITY:4/5 
DIFFICULTY: easy-medium

This was my first Castorland puzzle and I didn't know what to expect. First the box is not as hard and sturdy as those from Ravensburger or Clementoni. But it is not bad. The puzzles are standard medium size but they are much thiner then what I expected. They fit nicely but it took a while to get used to how thin they were. The pieces fall apart if you try to lift them. 
The color reproduction is great. The image of a little girl reading a book is so cute. And when finished it is really beautiful. 
The puzzle is not very difficult. It took me two evenings to finish it.
If you don't mind how thin the puzzles are, this is a great puzzle and I definitely recommend it.

MAGIC 3D PUZZLE PANORAMA
3D GLASSES INCLUDED
1000 PIECES
SIZE:  98 x 33 cm
author: Howard Robinson

SIZE OF PIECES: medium size
QUALITY: 5/5 
DIFFICULTY: medium

This was my first 3D effect puzzle. I was a bit skeptical but I have to say I love this puzzle. 3D glasses are included and they work both on the puzzle and on the picture on the box. The quality of the puzzle is excellent. The color reproduction is perfect and matches the picture on the box. It is not a difficult puzzle but it is a lot of fun and the final result is amazing. Especially when you look at it with 3D glasses. There are lots of different piece shapes and the pieces are thick and standard size (same as Ravensburger).
My favorite part of the puzzle was assembling the planets and that is what I did first. It took me two evenings to finish it.
 If you like space themed puzzles this one would be perfect.
