The Art Behind the Pieces 🌸

Created in 1887 during Van Gogh's Paris period, The Courtesan represents a pivotal moment in art history when East met West on canvas. The painting showcases Van Gogh's deep admiration for Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock prints, specifically reinterpreting a work by Keisai Eisen (1790-1842). What makes this piece particularly fascinating? Van Gogh didn't simply copy the original. He surrounded the courtesan with a decorative border featuring cranes, bamboo, water lilies and frogs, all iconic elements of Japanese art that he painted freehand, demonstrating his evolving artistic voice.

This period marked Van Gogh's transition from darker Dutch palette to the brilliant colours that would define his later masterpieces. The courtesan's elaborate costume, rendered in Van Gogh's distinctive impasto technique, creates a tactile quality that translates beautifully into jigsaw form, offering puzzlers an engaging challenge piece by piece.
