The Heros of the Battle of Marathon (Rochegrosse) Jigsaw Puzzle
This design features a painting by the French artist Georges Rochegrosse (1859–1938). It is an action scene from the Battle of Marathon, which took place in 490 BC during the first Persian invasion of Greece. The battle was fought between the citizens of Athens, aided by Plataea, and a Persian force that was commanded by Datis and Artaphernes. The main Greek leaders were Miltiades, Callimachus, Aristides the Just, Xanthippus, Themistocles, Stesilaos, Arimnestos and Cynaegirus. The battle was the climax of the first attempt by Persia, under King Darius I, to conquer Greece. However, the Greek army managed to inflict a crushing defeat on the more numerous Persians, making the battle a significant turning point in the Greco-Persian Wars. This painting shows the Greek warriors rushing into battle with great aggression. It was first painted in 1911.

I got this image in 110 pieces as I cannot commit to large puzzles. This one took me about an hour and was fairly easy. Perhaps 252 pieces would have better suited me for a little more complexity. This is not my favourite sugar skull as I prefer more girly colours like hot pink, reds and purples but I enjoyed doing this one. There is a lot of detail in the image and it was interesting to do. I don't think I will buy the larger puzzle count just because there are other sugar skull images that I much prefer.
Again very good quality puzzle and durable storage box that fits very well on small bookcase. The image was well positioned on this one so who ever printed this one got it pretty bang on.

I bought this image in 110 pieces because I like puzzles I can complete in a few hours. This one took me about 1.5 hours. It was surprisingly challenging in that in the nebular section of the image the pieces were difficult to orientate. It was difficult to gauge which pieces were right without trying them and sometimes I thought certain pieces wouldn't fit and they did. It must be the way the image is made up that it tricks the eye. I definitely found it harder than I thought it would be so yes it's a challenge.
As always very good quality puzzle in a very durable box that stores really well on my small bookcase. The image was well orientated on the puzzle so I would say the printer got this one pretty bang on. Very good quality image.

We are pleased with the jigsaw itself. However we are disappointed the box is far bigger than the jigsaw and not the kind of storage box we expected i.e. Ravensburger standard; rather it's a postage box and not very sturdy at that. Given it cost £18 + pp we did expect more. The image quality is good.
The pieces are rather thin and flimsy.
