Old Map Jigsaw Puzzle Collection 1,000-Piece

Given as a gift. Adult recipient, who likes challenging puzzles, found it beautiful but more challenging than many puzzles she has done. That might be because the number of different colors are limited to shades of white and brown.

This was my favorite puzzle from the ones I purchased in the Van Gogh theme. It's a normal size when framed (not too large) and there are many different colors, making it "easier" (still a good challenge) than the other Starry Night puzzles. I still enjoy looking at it and remembering how much I enjoyed putting it together. Great quality and excellent painting to turn into a puzzle.

I really enjoyed getting to know this painting. Yes, I know that doing art puzzles is a low-brow form of art appreciation, but they are my favorite kind of puzzle. This puzzle was challenging but doable, and the finished puzzle was beautiful. Clementoni puzzles are one of my favorite brands, and I was happy to share this one with a puzzle loving friend when I was done with it.

This puzzle was beautiful when finished and I have always appreciated Van Gogh's work, so I loved it. It's a beautiful painting. However, the puzzle was tedious to put together because there are sooo many huge areas that are similar/the same color. It kind of made it less fun, to be honest. Instead of enjoying the ongoing assembly of the puzzle, I was focused on trying to fit many of the same colored pieces in a spot. If you buy it, I recommend start with the outside edge (of course), then the blue/gray door, then top of the building w/windows, sky, dark buildings with evergreens, yellow part of the building and save the cobblestones for last. (The cobblestones are the part that will really drive you crazy! So having fewer pieces to pore through when you get to the cobblestone. Although the yellow part was fairly tedious, too.)

One thing I care about as a puzzle player is the puzzle quality and this one has a great quality.

I usually go for puzzles with more than 1000 pieces, because I like the challenge. However, this is one of my new favorite puzzles. The print was clear, so I saw so many details in the painting I never noticed before. I now have greater appreciation for Van Gogh and 1000 piece puzzles.

The puzzle is of good quality and when complete, its beautiful. It was challenging due because many of the colors were similar but I enjoyed every minute of working on it.

I was hoping to hang this up after finishing putting it together but it’s missing a piece
