1000 Pieces
Zodiac

by Johfra (1919-1998), a dutch modern artist.
Johannes Franciscus Gijsbertus Bosschart van den Berg met Salvador Dali but wasn't impressed by him the same way he was impressed by his art. Johfra called Leonardo da Vinci his spiritual father, studied the gnostic spiritual school of the Rosicrucians as well as other esoteric and spiritual schools.
1973the well-known dutch poster magnate Engel Verkerke asked Johfra to paint a series of the zodiac signs and offered him a highly recommended contract. Johfra worked almost a year on these 90x60-measuring paintings and embedded all his knowledge of art and symbolism.

The jigsaw was made in the late 80ies.
