THE PRESENTATION OF JESUS - 1000 PIECE PUZZLE
This 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzle features the artwork of a little known Northern European painter entitled, Presentation at the Temple. The artist uses dazzling color to mesmerizing effect in his Presentation at the Temple. Mary's mantle glows in lapis lazuli blue, the rarest of hues imported from Afghanistan. The blue of St. Joseph's robe is more muted, while Simeon's tunic seems tinged with brown. But for all the delight for the eyes, this moment of joy is but a prelude to extended suffering. Jesus, sitting up in the arms of His mother, is situated on a direct diagonal with the infant being stabbed by one of Herod's soldiers. Saint Joseph, seemingly relegated to the outskirts of the scene, was intentionally placed below the brutal attack, a reminder that he will soon have to flee with his family from the murderous rage of Herod.
Each puzzle box contains high-quality pieces packaged with a beautiful sacred art poster and insert that explains the meaning and significance of this timeless work of art.
Measures 27”W x 19”H when completed.
