'Family Reunion' jigsaw puzzle by Frederic Bazille, manufactured by Pomegranate. Born into a wealthy family, FrÈdÈric Bazille (1841ñ1870) was allowed to study art only if he studied medicine as well. His pursuit of painting in Paris led him into friendship with Alfred Sisley, Edouard Manet, and Claude Monet, with whom he shared studio space and materials. Although he failed his exam to practice medicine, Bazille saw success early as a painter. A volunteer in the Franco-Prussian War, Bazille was killed in battle at age twenty-nine. |
