Pictures to build
Puzzles by art style.
Every picture here is a real painting from The Met's open collection — free to build, slice by slice. Pick a style; each one reads differently under your hands.
Japanese woodblock prints
Ukiyo-e
Floating-world prints from Edo Japan — Hokusai's waves, Hiroshige's rain, travellers on mountain roads. Flat blocks of colour, confident outlines, and weather you can feel.
10 pictures →17th-century Netherlands
Dutch Golden Age
Lamplit interiors, wind-bitten landscapes and unflinching portraits from the Dutch 1600s — Rembrandt, Hals, Ruisdael. Deep shadow, warm skin, a single fall of light.
12 pictures →Light, caught quickly
Impressionism
Gardens, riverbanks and quiet rooms painted in broken, shimmering strokes — Cassatt, Pissarro, Morisot, Degas. Colour over line; a moment, not a record.
12 pictures →After the light
Post-Impressionism
Where colour turns structural and personal — Van Gogh's coiling strokes, Gauguin's flat heat, Seurat's dots, Rousseau's dreamed jungles. Feeling built deliberately, mark by mark.
12 pictures →Quiet arrangements
Still Life
Flowers past their best, fruit and silver and the slow drama of a tabletop — from Dutch pronkstilleven to the hush of a flower piece. Small worlds, lovingly lit.
6 pictures →Field, river, weather
European Landscape
Quiet country and changing skies from 19th-century Europe — Corot's silvery groves, Daubigny's riverbanks, the Barbizon hush, a Constable cloud. Land as a mood.
