One of the most unexpected global shortages this spring wasn’t toilet paper or hand sanitizer—but jigsaw puzzles. As people settled into life indoors and looked for new ways to pass time, the wholesome activity surged in popularity, causing nary a puzzle to be found in even the farthest reaches of the internet.
Now, with winter right around the bend, many of us are preparing for a new stretch of at-home activities—and if you’re an art lover, or buying gifts for one this holiday season—a puzzle of a favorite painting might be the perfect substitute for a trip to the museum.
If that’s the case, then the online art marketplace Fine Art America will fulfill all your art-puzzle dreams, with thousands upon thousands of choices. Simply search an artist or artwork here to see which masterpieces are available.
Oh, and if you happen to have taken up an art hobby of your own, you can get your personal handiwork printed on almost anything. With one quick image upload, you can create a one-off custom product design.
