 [Jigsaw Puzzle from Ricordi Arte entitled The Harvesters by Pieter Bruegel the Elder]
The Harvesters
by Pieter Bruegel the Elder
2000-pc jigsaw puzzle for US$ 40.00

One in a series of six panels illustrating the months of the year, this scene represents August and September. We also have "Hunters in the Snow" (December/January) in the same size and from the same manufacturer, but one of the six panels (for April/May) is lost to history.

Breughel's perspective on the world is humanist and surprisingly modern and his artist's eye is free of the conventions of earlier centuries. We see the sweep of the fields and the village church. A wagon piled high with bales waits in the valley below. Here the labourers are laid out in the field under a pear tree, enjoying some lunch and a brief snooze. One has eaten too much and loosened his pants. Brueghel shows us the people as they really were, not through the filters of idealism.
