This puzzle is impressive but nowhere near as impressive as the real thing! Take a look at the real thing in the Louvre http://www.louvre.fr/en/oeuvre-notices/wedding-feast-cana
Can you believe this painting was stolen by Napoleon? I guess if I was Napoleon I would have wanted it too!
This puzzle comes in many size, but I am looking for the 9000 piece version from Ravensburger. If Educa/Ravensburger/Celmentoni want to seriously trump the other in the arms race for the largest jigsaw puzzle, I have a modest proposal; a life size replica of this work! This would be a completed puzzle 22ft high by 32.6 feet long and approximately 228,000 pieces (Given that most 9000 piece puzzles are approximately 4.5ft X 6.3ft completed means they have a piece density of 318 pieces per square foot)!
This would be equivalent to assembling just over 7 Double Retrospects! Given that retail cost is 300 for Double Retrospect, it would be at least 2100 dollars for the puzzle... I will start saving my pennies! Better yet, does anyone have access to a good set of puzzle dies? Let create this thing!
