Jigsaw Puzzle National Gallery Bosschaert the Elder: A Still Life of Flowers

Part of an exciting series of sturdy, square-box 1000-piece jigsaw puzzles from Flame Tree, featuring powerful and popular works of art.

• This new jigsaw will satisfy your need for a challenge.
• This 1000 piece jigsaw is intended for adults and children over 13 years.

• Ambrosius Bosschaert the Elder was a Dutch Golden Age painter.

The flowers in this arrangement, which include lilies, tulips, roses, and carnations, are painted with almost scientific precision.

Bosschaert’s choice of a smooth copper support enhances the extraordinary detail of his brushwork. The bouquet itself, however, is a fiction: these flowers do not bloom at the same time, and would have been far too precious to cut for temporary display.
