An online puzzle inspired by the painting “Vanitas Still Life with Books, a Globe, a Skull, a Violin and a Fan” by the Dutch artist Jan Davidsz. de Heem - one of the greatest masters of 17th-century still life. The painting, in the vanitas genre, serves as a reminder of the transience of life and the futility of earthly riches. The composition brings together symbolic objects such as books, a globe, musical instruments, jewels, and a skull, which together create a profound philosophical message and invite reflection on the meaning of existence.

Just like a real tabletop jigsaw puzzle! Pieces can be rotated and freely moved without automatic connections or grouping. It's all manual — perfect for purists.
A smooth and intuitive experience. Rotation is optional - you can enable or disable it before starting. Pieces snap together when brought close and form movable groups to speed up solving. Puzzle elements are styled like real pieces, with protrusions, shadows, and distinct shapes.
A smooth and intuitive experience. No rotation needed. Pieces snap together when brought close and form movable groups to speed up solving. A clean image without visual protrusions or shadows.
