This is another beautiful fine arts puzzle that Ravensburger manufactured in 1977. The title is Arrival of King Otto at Nauplia, by Peter von Hess. It has been out of catalog for decades and it is very difficult to find.
This painting was commissioned by King Louis I, who wanted to capture the reception given to his son in 1832 when he was elected King of Greece. Peter von Hess accompanied the King to Greece and on his return, in 1835, painted one of his most wonderful artworks.
The puzzle is like NEW, with all the pieces SEALED inside the original plastic bag. The box is in good condition, with some minor shelf wear.
In 1978 Ravensburger published a 5000 piece version of The Last Battle of the Tirolese Against Napoleon, also by Peter von Hess.
