(3.6) 2000 piece puzzle, "Melencolia I" by Albrecht Dürer, Grafika Puzzles, France.
Finished. A very well made 2000 piecer from Grafika, toward the end of their run before changing their manufacturing facility (which is now in France), box design and range quite drastically. Even though it is black and white, there was enough detail that it didn't become overwhelming.
This famous engraving from 1514 is clearly filled with symbolic meaning, but from what I have read, art historians have been squabbling for more than 500 years over exactly what its message is. To me, it's an unusual medium for a jigsaw puzzle, and an appropriate subject for the theme, "Winter and Spring."
Completed in 19 hr., 54 mins. with no box reference. 2000 total pieces: 35.8 secs./piece; 100.5 pcs./hr. Difficulty rating: 3.6/10.
