The Moon and the Earth Puzzle

The Moon and the Earth puzzle is made using a historical and world-famous painting. High-quality wooden puzzle with detailed and vivid artwork reproduction is sure to be lots of fun. The Moon and the Earth is Paul Gaugin’s understanding of an old Polynesian legend, where Hina, the female soul of the Moon, begs Fatou, the male soul of the Earth, to concede people timeless life. Fatou undauntedly denies Hina’s solicitation. Gaugin’s portrayal of Hina and Fatou – set apart by incredible divergence in their size, scale, and shading – stresses their old fight. Hina stands bare in the closer view, confronting Fatou, who lingers commandingly behind the scenes. Her upraised arms propose request, while his extreme, stone-like face demonstrates that he stays unaffected by her pleas. This sensational scene happens in a rich, illusory scene setting.
