The Coronation of Emperor Napoleon I 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle

Having completed over 5 Clementoni 1000 piece puzzles, I am a huge fan of their quality and workmanship. Unlike many other brands of puzzles, Clementoni puzzles do not fade with exposure to sunlight and the colors themselves are very vibrant. This Renior painting--like most Impressionist puzzles--is exceptionally difficult because the colors have no distinct edges and blur into one another. Even the simplest of tasks like assembling the border can take longer than it should on other puzzles due to the Impressionist brushstrokes. That's part of the fun! A 1000 piece Impressionist puzzle can be exceedingly difficult, so don't jump in without determination, but after days (or weeks) of patience and puzzling, your hard work will pay off. This Renior painting is simply beautiful, and the completed puzzle reflects the lively scene that Renoir intended to capture. If you're up for a challenge, this is definitely the jigsaw puzzle to buy! Note: Although some of the pieces are not cut entirely apart, as another reviewer noted, this is easily remedied by pulling them apart gently and noting where the cut was supposed to. Or, you can cheat like me and use these two pieces as part of the puzzle already.

The quality is high and the final product is very beautiful. I found Clementoni puzzles are really great. I have bought 4 of them and finished assembling two of them. Both came out great. I think it is fair to say, however, that this type of puzzle might not be for everyone. Other puzzles I purchased before came with pieces with varying sizes and shapes so much so that you can assemble them without studying the final pictures too much. Clementoni puzzles are not like that. The pieces could look similar with similar size. The variations are mostly whether the piece has two bulbs or three, or it has bigger (or square looking) bulb or smaller etc. Still they do not come together perfectly unless you put the right pieces together. Personally, I always need to study the pictures to locate most of the pieces - and that's the best part of this puzzle because I have been staring at this beautiful painting of Renoir while I was studying the pieces and the puzzle! If the purpose of doing puzzles is to have fun without too much sweat, this puzzle is probably not for you. If you are a puzzle-mania, do not mind spending days to put the pieces together, and love challenges, however, then this puzzle is for you!

this puzzle was tough! all the pieces were present and i only noticed two pieces that weren’t fully separated but they detached from one another easily and without damage. finished over 6 days by two people casually working on it a few hours a day. the brown background was the absolute hardest part! and a lot of the yellow pieces look very similar to one another. some noteworthy downsides to this puzzle are the gloss/glare on the pieces that can be blinding depending on your light source. also, the pieces are “crumbly” and do not stay snapped together if jostled in the slightest, so be very careful assembling and moving this puzzle! i use foam board to build and transport my puzzle from table to table. this puzzle is going on the wall! The Kiss is such a gorgeous piece and it was a real challenge to put together!

This puzzle was very challenging, but really held our interest! High quality in terms of both the image and the precision and fit of the cuts. It was fun to put this together and we learned some things about the Sistine Chapel at the same time. Only suggestion: the inserted diagram of the images could have been easier to follow.

I really enjoyed this puzzle. My only criticism was that the pieces don't have much of a texture which creates a strong glare, however, the pieces were very thick and of good quality. And best of all, no missing pieces! The masterpiece painting was fun to put together and absolutely beautiful when finished. It would be good for those who likes to frame the finished piece.

Clementoni puzzles are renowned for their quality construction and appealing subjects. This "Bowl of Flowers" puzzle is definitely one of the finest I have purchased.

Too many missing pieces/

Enjoyed this. I agree with another reviewer that the surface glare sometimes made it difficult to see the subtle patterns on the darker pieces. But all of the colors and flower images made it interesting and it really is quite beautiful. Bought this to distract my mind during COVID-19 quarantine. Now I need another one!

Je l’ai acheté comme cadeau de Noël pour ma copine qui adore les puzzle et celui-ci a été un coup de cœur : il est très beau et plutôt complexe ! La boîte elle aussi est très jolie et laisse apparaître le motif de cette œuvre fleurie et haute en couleur avec ce fond sombre plein de caractère. Les pièces sont toutes emballées dans un sachet en plastique. On a fait le contour pour le moment et la suite sera entre ses mains, mais elle a hâte de le finir tout ayant envie que le moment dure tant elle passe un beau moment. Les pièces sont de bonne qualité et semblent solides. Je recommande !

Nice quality reproduction plus all the pieces were there. Very satisfying.

Good quality as always from Clemontoni. Picture was clear and just the right level of difficulty.

Yessss, I absolutely enjoy making puzzles, especially ones with flowers. so ofc I had to buy this one.
