1000-piece Raphael Transfiguration Jigsaw Puzzle

Each piece reveals another fragment of Raphael's genius, from the luminous whites of Christ's transfigured robes to the rich, complex palette of the earthbound figures below. 🧩

Raphael's Transfiguration carries one of art history's most poignant backstories. Originally commissioned by Cardinal Giulio de' Medici in 1516, this extraordinary work was left unfinished when Raphael died tragically on Good Friday 1520 at just 37 years old. The masterpiece was completed posthumously by his devoted pupils Giulio Romano and Giovanni Francesco Penni, making it a collaborative testament to Renaissance artistic tradition. 🎨

What makes this painting particularly fascinating is its intended journey that never was. Originally destined for the cathedral of S. Giusto of Narbonne in France, the work remained in Rome after Raphael's death when Cardinal Giulio de' Medici chose to keep it for himself. Today, this monumental work graces the Vatican Museums' Pinacoteca, where at least 68 copies were made between 1523 and 1913, testament to its enduring influence. 🖼️

At 59.2 x 84.3 cm when complete, this jigsaw puzzle transforms your living space into a private gallery whilst providing the meditative benefits of focused, tactile engagement. Each of the 1000 precisely cut pieces becomes a stepping stone toward recreating one of the Renaissance's most emotionally complex works.
