The Kiss, Francesco Hayez – Wooden jigsaw puzzle

290 pieces. Final dimensions 40,2 x 27,9 cm. Thickness of the tiles 3 mm.

The jigsaw puzzle is handcrafted and checked piece by piece. The cutting and application of the color are carried out in complete safety with the latest generation machinery.

Forget traditional joints. Explore the new tiles, in carefully selected poplar wood, solid and resistant. Unseen joints, strange and funny shapes, an endless challenge. The special pieces refer to the life, works and context of the work of art reproduced in the jigsaw puzzle.

The romantic scene of Hayez’s The Kiss contains within itself ideals such as love of the homeland and political-military commitment. The young man who kisses the girl carries a dagger and is about to leave with his foot on the first step of the ladder. He is a young patriot who greets his beloved before going to fight the Habsburg invader. In the shadows, on the left, hides the menacing and disturbing presence of a faceless enemy.

The tiles of the jigsaw puzzle are contained in a natural linen bag and packaged in an exclusive box to protect it during the transport.
