Why are you reporting this puzzle?
The artwork in Today's Daily Jigsaw Puzzle is titled "Farmhouse in Provence" (1888), and the artist is Vincent Van Gogh (1853 – 1890) ♥
Vincent van Gogh’s art journey was a vivid exploration of color, emotion, and dynamic movement. His early paintings, like The Potato Eaters, show dark, earthy tones and depict the hard lives of peasants, reflecting his empathy for their struggles. After moving to Paris in 1886, he encountered Impressionism and Pointillism, which transformed his style with brighter colors and experimental techniques.
In Arles, he painted masterpieces like Sunflowers, The Bedroom, and The Night Café, using bold, expressive brushstrokes. His iconic Starry Night, created during his stay in an asylum in Saint-Rémy, captures a swirling sky often seen as a reflection of his emotional turmoil. Van Gogh famously used color to convey feelings, believing yellow symbolized warmth and friendship.
In a letter to his brother Theo, he expressed his hope that his work would touch people deeply, writing, "I want to touch people with my art. I want them to say: he feels deeply, he feels tenderly… I should one day like to show by my work what such an eccentric, such a nobody, has in his heart." (The Letters of Vincent van Gogh, Penguin Classics, edited by Ronald de Leeuw).
