Famous Paintings as Jigsaw Puzzles: Art You Can Build

There's a special pleasure in building a masterpiece piece by piece. Art puzzles slow you down and make you really look — at the brushstrokes, the colour, the composition you'd normally glance past.

Why art makes great puzzles

• You see more. Assembling a painting forces you to notice detail an art book never reveals.
• Rich, varied colour. The masters were masters of colour — which gives your eyes plenty to match.
• A calm, meditative build. Slow looking is its own kind of mindfulness — see puzzles and mindfulness.

A tour you can solve

From the swirling sky of a starry night to the great wave and shimmering water lilies, our art and abstract collection turns iconic works into boards you can build. For pattern lovers, don't miss mandalas and symmetry.

Tip for art puzzles

Skies and water are the classic challenge — build the framed subject first, then work the background by shape as much as colour.
