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.
So dark.....
