12000, Ravensburger, The Temptation of Saint Anthony

Ravensburger manufactured this extraordinary jigsaw puzzle in 1983. It is difficult to find today. The title is The Temptation of Saint Anthony, by Hieronymus Bosch.

This puzzle was the first one with 12000 pieces, and the largest fine art jigsaw puzzle available for a long time. In fact, Ravensburger has not published a larger fine art puzzle after this one.

The puzzle is NEW, with all the pieces SEALED inside the original plastic bags. The box has suffered some shelf wear. There are a couple of tears on the corners of the lid, and some scuffs on edges. The poster is missing.

Art Stones has a 2000 piece version with this same topic, and there is another 2000 piece version by Ricordi.
