Assemble a masterpiece in your own home with this 1000-piece puzzle featuring one of Monet’s most beautiful paintings from the collection of the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
In the last decades of his life, Claude Monet’s (1840-1926) prized water garden became his most important—and eventually only—subject. The reflective surface of the pond unified his canvases. In The Japanese Footbridge (1899) the lush foliage rises all the way to the horizon and the space is flattened by the decorative arch of the bridge. Floating lily pads and mirrored reflections assume equal stature, blurring distinctions between solid objects and ephemeral effects of light. Monet had always been interested in reflections, seeing in their fragmented forms the natural equivalent of his own broken brushwork.
