Tove Jansson was a Finnish-Swedish writer and artist who created the Moomin family and their friends.

National Gallery Bosschaeart the Elder: A Still Life of Flowers

Ambrosius Bosschaert the Elder was a Dutch Golden Age painter. The flowers in this arrangement, which include lilies, tulips, roses, and carnations, are painted with almost scientific precision. Bosschaert’s choice of a smooth copper support enhances the extraordinary detail of his brushwork. The bouquet itself, however, is a fiction: these flowers do not bloom at the same time, and would have been far too precious to cut for temporary display.

R. Crumb: Who's Afraid of Robert Crumb?

This new jigsaw will satisfy your need for a challenge, featuring R. Crumb's 'Who's Afraid of Robert Crumb?'. One of the leading figures of the underground comix movement, R. Crumb's work is as distinctive as it is polarizing. The eccentric social satirist first rose to prominence in the 1960s counterculture scene, going on to be one of the most prolific and influential cartoonists of the 20th century. Influenced by psychedelics and the cartoons of his youth, Crumb's style is an arresting blend of grotesque and nostalgic, which is only reinforced by his preoccupation with dark, often sexual, themes. Who's Afraid of Robert Crumb?, a riotous self-portrait of the artist at work, perfectly encapsulates Crumb's singular aesthetic. This work originally featured on a poster for Crumb's exhibition of the same name at the 2000 Angouleme International Comics Festival, but was censored by the director of the festival.

National Gallery: Vincent van Gogh Sunflowers

This jigsaw will satisfy your need for a challenge, featuring National Gallery: Vincent Van Gogh, Sunflowers.
Van Gogh painted a series of pictures depicting sunflowers, having first been inspired by the yellow flowers in Paris when he saw them growing in the gardens of Montmartre. Sunflowers were symbolic of life and hope to the artist, and could also be associated with his concept of the sun - glowing, yellow and hopeful.

Hieronymus Bosch: The Garden of Earthly Delights

This new jigsaw will satisfy your need for a challenge, featuring Hieronymus Bosch: Garden of Earthly Delights. Hieronymus Bosch lived and worked over 500 hundred years ago in the Netherlands' town of Hertogenbosch, from which he takes his name. He is best known for his fantastical, wondrous art full of strange creatures - both grotesque and heavenly. The work he has left behind still defies the imagination.

Nel Whatmore: A Million Shades

Nel Whatmore is a fine artist, well known for her floral paintings and abstracts. As with many of her paintings, A Million Shades was built up over several months, until Nel was happy with the final piece. A contemporary colourist, her paintings are both expressionist and evocative. She seeks t o constantly explore mediums and their ability to convey emotion. Her work i s varied, with landscapes and skyscapes featuring alongside still life and floral works, which encapsulate her interest in expressionist painting. She expresses her love of flowers not only through her fine art, but also her textile designs, and regularly exhibits her work at the Chelsea Flower Show.

Arthur Rackham: Alice in Wonderland

This new jigsaw will satisfy your need for a challenge, featuring artist Arthur Rackham's Alice in Wonderland Tea Party. Arthur Rackham (1867-1939) was the most influential artist of the Golden Age of Illustration. He worked on timeless classics such as Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens (1906) and illustrated editions of William Shakespeare's plays, including A Midsummer Night's Dream (1908), which incorporated the first of his fairy illustrations, for which he became well known. He also illustrated the 1907 edition of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, from which this illustration of Alice at the Hatter's Tea Party is taken. Alice is at the tea party along with the March Hare, the Hatter and an exhausted Dormouse. The Hatter explains that they have to have tea all day because Time is punishing him by having stopped at 6 p.m. which is, of course, tea time

Alphonse Mucha: Reverie

This new jigsaw will satisfy your need for a challenge, featuring Alphonse Mucha's Reverie. Czech artist Alphonse Mucha was a defining figure of the Art Nouveau era and is loved for his images of beautiful women in arabesque poses. His work was so distinctive, it became known as Le Style Mucha, a decorative art form that made the artist famous in Paris at the end of the nineteenth century. Much of the work he produced in his adult life was used for advertisements and posters. This lithograph was originally designed as a calendar image, which would be featured in the Champenois company calendar. It became very popular so quickly however, that it was featured in the magazine La Plume as a decorative panel. It was given the title Reverie (daydream) as the woman appears like a figure in a dream. Gazing out at the viewer, the young woman sits with an open book on her lap, wearing a flowing dress with voluminous sleeves in the Byzantine style. Such an enchanting illustration epitomizes Le Style Mucha.

Gustav Klimy: The Kiss

The Kiss is a prime example of Klimt's 'Golden Phase', in which he began to feature especially sumptuous ornamentation on a regular basis in his paintings. The couple in this artwork represents the mystical union of spiritual and erotic love, and the connection of life and the universe.
