An Abundance of Fruit

Hummingbird and Passionflowers

Today's puzzle is based on a painting by Martin Johnson Heade. The American artist was fascinated with hummingbirds and painted them in several of his works. The particular species of the hummingbird represented in this painting is the black-eared fairy. It lives in the same area of the Amazon basin where the passionflower grows.

The Grand Canal in Venice

Today we're visiting The Grand Canal in Venice in 1740. This fun and challenging puzzle is based on Giovanni Antonio Canal (commonly known as Canaletto, an Italian painter from the Republic of Venice) 1740 oil on canvas painting "The Grand Canal in Venice from Palazzo Flangini to Campo San Marcuola". Canaletto made at least three versions of this view of the Grand Canal. He recorded every detail of every building along the canal, every window, door, and chimney and other architectural details.

Grapes, Lemons, Pears, and Apples

Another art themed puzzle is here. Painted in the fall of 1887 by Vincent van Gogh, "Grapes, Lemons, Pears, and Apples" features seasonal fruit. In this painting, van Gogh employed more vibrant colors, and used a thicker, broader paint application than he had earlier.

Wivenhoe Park

Today's puzzle is based on John Constable's oil on canvas painting called Wivenhoe Park, Essex. In the painting Constable depicts a beautiful English landscape park (style of "landscape" garden which emerged in England in the early 18th century), the estate of the Rebow family. Constable was commissioned by Major-General Francis Slater-Rebow to paint his country home, Wivenhoe Park, Essex in 1816. Born in Suffolk, John Constable s known principally for revolutionizing the genre of landscape painting.

The Large Plane Trees

Another art themed puzzle is here. Also known as the "Road Menders at Saint-Remy", the painting that today's puzzle is based on depicts roadwork taking place underneath some large plane trees on a autumn day. In actuality, "The Large Pane Trees" (the one featured in this puzzle) and the "Road Menders of Saint-Remy" are two different paintings and are sometimes confused as one. Although similar, Van Gogh painted this one first on a red and white checkered table cloth and later painted it again on an actual canvas.

Bowl Of Peaches and Grapes

Today's puzzle is based on an oil on wood painting from 1825 by the American artist John A. Woodside. The painting called "Still Life: Peaches and Grapes", depicts a bowl of peaches and some white and black grapes on a table. You can also see a half eaten peach and a pocket knife in the foreground of the painting.

Dining Room in the Country

Today's puzzle is based on Pierre Bonnard's painting "Dining Room in the Country". It depicts the dining room in Bonnard's country house in Vernonnet, a small town on the Seine. Leaning on the windowsill is Marthe de Meligny, the artist's wife, and on the chairs his two cats.

Spring Flowers

The painting features some beautiful Spring flowers (peonies, hydrangeas, lilacs and some geraniums). Monet loved flowers and is quoted as saying, "I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers."

Abundant Fruit

This fun new puzzle is based on a painting by Severin Roesen (c. 1815 in Boppard - c. 1872) was a Prussian-American painter known for his abundant fruit and flower still lifes. The fruits depicted in this painting do not all ripen at the same time and it wouldn't have been possible to have them on the same table in 19th-century. The artist chose symbolism over accuracy and included all the fruit at the same time. The abundance of fruit speaks is meant to speak about the prosperity of the young United States. Roesen arrived in America around 1848, the painting featured here was made in 1858,

On the Bank of the Seine
