Have you ever imagined what it would be like to be the creator of a work of art yourself? To be the artist who lays down on canvas, brushstroke by brushstroke, layer by layer, images so realistic they look like photographs?
Now you have the chance to experience that feeling with a 1000-piece puzzle that instantly transports you into the atmosphere of the realist movement, masterfully represented by the renowned French painter James Tissot
On the Thames, A Heron – one of James Tissot’s first paintings after his arrival in England, created in 1871 and faithfully reproduced in this fascinating art puzzle, is an exciting challenge for any 1000 piece puzzle lover.
Thanks to the uniformity of colour and very similar shades in which James Tissot manages to reproduce a true autumn landscape on the Thames, your attention to detail will be put to the test with each piece you add to recreate this puzzle painting.
The painting On the Thames, a Heron, reproduced in this art puzzle, also marks French painter James Tissot’s transition from the French style of painting to the charming and suave Victorian style
But what is most striking, beyond the colours and style, is the very layering of planes, in an interesting composition that brings to the forefront the flying sparrow – a fairly common bird on the banks of the Thames, but a powerful symbol of the influence that the Japanese style had on James Tissot’s creations at the time.

Did you know that…?
On the Thames, a Heron is a painting representative of the stylistic transition Tissot had to make after taking refuge in England following the Franco-Prussian War
Thus, because the English did not appreciate the French style of painting at all, he switched from painting historical scenes to painting scenes of social life, which were so popular with the English nobility
James Tissot was highly regarded for his ability to render in fine detail the landscapes and details of the cities that inspired him, without having to spend a great deal of time in those places.
His real name was Jacques Joseph Tissot, but he changed it when he moved to England, following a fashion of the time when many artists used to change their names to fit in with certain societies.
