Description from the seller
Puzzle
The modern puzzle was born in 1767 when the English cartographer John Spilsbury created the first educational puzzle. He took a wooden geographical map and cut it into various pieces, each depicting a single country. The aim was to teach children geography, who had to reconstruct the complete image by assembling the pieces in the correct order. Today, the puzzle has become a form of entertainment enjoyed by millions of people worldwide and has also taken on a symbolic meaning that refers to the patience required to achieve a complete image from individual pieces.
Every piece of a puzzle has its own role and its own placement within the image, and it is not understandable on its own if separated from the image it contains. The puzzle thus becomes a celebration of collaboration and convergence, where the parts only make sense if integrated into an image that contains them, just as the image itself owes its completeness to the presence of all the parts that compose it.
Urso wanted to reproduce the game of the pieces that make up the puzzle, using silver and transparent enamels, with a graphics and chromatic effect that is absolutely innovative.
