Walter Crane: The Bridge of Life 1000-Piece Jigsaw Puzzle
On a visit to Venice, Walter Crane observed myriad canals, marble footbridges, and what he called “the mixed troops of people of all ages, sexes, and aspects, who pass up and down the steps and across them.” In Crane's allegorical painting The Bridge of Life, a winged angel delivers a newborn babe, all the while surveilling a spectral undertaker. Crane, one of the most influential illustrators of his day and a founder of the Arts & Crafts movement, wrote the following verse on this painting’s frame: “What is Life? A bridge that ever bears a throng across a river; There the taker, here the giver.”
