Midsummer Night's Fairies by John George Naish flying across a moonlit sky, a fairy with butterfly wings rides a moth while others frolic in flowers or rest on clouds as diaphanous as their gowns. This scene defined Naish's reputation in the 1850s as a painter of fairy and mythological subjects. The riding figure is the impish Puck with his band of carefree sprites and painter John George Naish imbues this subject with very Victorian imagery notably in the flowers, geraniums and nasturtiums, unfamiliar to Shakespeare but widely recognised in contemporary gardens. The flowers are saturated with colour within darkened lines that define shape and texture in a world where the fairy, the imagined comes realistic and the supernatural, natural. A beautiful choice of image, the jigsaw puzzle has 1000 quality pieces and when finished measures 68 x 49cm which is 26¾" x 19¼". Includes A4 colour guide. Big square box.
