EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting 15th century engraving, titled "The Game of Chess" by Jacobus de Cessolis, captures a captivating moment in the history of one of the world's oldest and most beloved games. Jacobus de Cessolis, a Franciscan monk, is believed to have written the first known treatise on the game of chess in the late 13th or early 14th century. In this intricately detailed engraving, we see a group of men gathered around a table, intently focused on their game. The interior setting, with its rich colors and ornate decor, adds an air of sophistication and importance to the scene. The men, all dressed in masculine attire of the era, are deeply engrossed in the game, their expressions revealing a range of emotions from intense concentration to playful banter. The chessboard, with its intricate patterns and meticulously crafted pieces, takes center stage, a testament to the strategic and intellectual depth of the game. The horizontal composition of the image draws the viewer in, inviting us to join the men in their world of strategy and intrigue. This beautiful engraving is a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of 15th century Europe and the enduring appeal of the game of chess. With its rich colors, intricate details, and timeless subject matter, it is a true masterpiece that continues to captivate and inspire us today.
