Twenty are the ignudi on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, image and word by Michelangelo; twenty nude males haunting my puzzle, cornering the five central frames. Angels or ideal human bodies (all in context, scanned from a book, here). It can also be food. Sticking with the nudes this time, "intermediary spirits between men and the Godhead". A serious gallery here.

Oops, five missing. Who could ever think of making a 3000-piece jigsaw puzzle out of this ceiling.
"Michelangelo painted onto the damp plaster using a wash technique to apply broad areas of colour, then as the surface became drier, he revisited these areas with a more linear approach, adding shade and detail with a variety of brushes. For some textured surfaces, such as facial hair and woodgrain, he used a broad brush with bristles as sparse as a comb." (da wiki).
