Wish List: La Pie (Ricordi, 2000pc)

Ever find yourself on the lookout for classically famous paintings turned jigsaw puzzles? Then check out the selection of offerings by Ricordi, if you haven't already. It's essentially a trove of artworks by Degas, Kandinsky, Van Gogh, and so forth in jigsaw puzzle form, ranging from 250 to 2000 pieces.

While there certainly are other companies that make fine art puzzles, such as Eurographics, Ricordi stands out because it offers an extensive number of 1500 and 2000 piece options. The majority of fine art puzzles I've come across cap out at 1000pc.

At this point, I can't speak for the quality of the puzzles themselves because they're still new to me, but my friend who introduced me to them vouched for the brand, so I hope to try one in the near future. Just window shopping for now though - the one I'm fond of, Monet's La Pie (above), appears to be sold out.

This one is so lovely - looks really hard! Maybe it will be back in stock when cold weather rolls around again to help you beat the winter blues with this pretty snow scene.

Great point - it certainly would have been helpful with dealing with this past winter. I do hope it gets re-stocked eventually, but I can't find any online retailers that have the item in stock, so I'm afraid it might be past its cycle...
