Madame Monet - 1000pc Jigsaw Puzzle by Tomax Puzzles

This 1,000 piece puzzle is a reproduction of Claude Monet's famous outdoor impressionist painting of his wife and son, entitled, "Woman with a Parasol - Madame Monet and Her Son", 1875.

The artist intended the work to convey the feeling of a casual family outing rather than a formal portrait, and used pose and placement to suggest that his wife and son interrupted their stroll while he captured their likenesses. The brevity of the moment portrayed here is conveyed by a repertory of animated brushstrokes of vibrant color, hallmarks of the style Monet was instrumental in forming. Bright sunlight shines from behind Camille to whiten the top of her parasol and the flowing cloth at her back, while colored reflections from the wildflowers below touch her front with yellow.
