Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Robert Silvers created a new technology that changed the nature of art, photography, and computer graphics. This development, called Photomosaics, is a method of arranging thousands of tiny photographs that, when viewed from a distance, combine to form a single larger image.

Product Description

Now you can have your own version of Van Gogh's masterpiece-without burgling New York's Museum of Modern Art. Seen here in a unique 1,000-piece puzzle, this post-Impressionist view of the night sky is even more interesting as a Photomosaic. Patented by digital artist Robert Silvers, the unique process takes thousands of small images and blends them to create a larger portrait. Beautiful and colorful on their own, each of the small photos work together to create the beloved painting. Finished puzzle measures 27 x 20.

this is my first review of any product anywhere so here goes:

i thoroughly enjoyed this puzzled. if you can find a frame thats about 28 by 22 you'll be fine but thats the hard part of it all and its a decent looking display but its not the most perfect unless you wanna spend around 100 dollars for a custom frame.

anyway like the title says you would really need a lot of patience, and good eyesight because the poster that comes with the puzzle isnt all that big so most of the time you would be staring at the poster for awhile before you realize where the piece goes.

if you end up buying this puzzle message me and i'll tell you how i did it. but by no means did i finish this in a week - i spent 3 weeks about 6 hours or so each day of the week completing this.

when all is said and done... the piece looks fantastic.. i'll try and upload a picture of the finished piece

The finished puzzle looks fantastic. The pieces hold together well. We found it strange that the poster that comes with it is considered a "bonus" because it would take a long, long time to finish the puzzle without it. We even cut the poster in half so two people could work on it at once.
Would definitely recommend it to a fellow puzzle lover!
