Puzzlewood 1864pc The Blue Cloak Pieter Brueghel Elder 3D-Enhanced DSC02722

An oblique view to show the complexity of the layering in the 3D-enhancement devised by Heather.

 

David P is showing the most amazing masterwork by Heather Prydderch of Puzzlewood. It is an extremely large & complex 3D-enhanced jigsaw. David recalled that after losing out on an ebay auction of a flat version of the painting in March 2023 he commissioned Heather to create one for him. Heather had a huge backlog of commissions and David waited patiently until 2024. It took her about a month to cut.

 

Puzzlewood 1864pc The Blue Cloak by Pieter Brueghel the Elder 1559, interlocking, line-cut and 3D-enhanced 31x22in. Cut 2024. The painting is also known as Netherlandish Proverbs. David explained three of the proverbs and pointed us to the Wikipedia page:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netherlandish_Proverbs

 

In the painting, people, animals and objects offer literal illustrations of Dutch-language proverbs and idioms which share Brueghel's theme of the absurdity, wickedness and foolishness of humans. Its original title, The Blue Cloak or The Folly of the World, indicates that Bruegel's intent was to catalogue human folly.
