EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the 15th century - a chess board made entirely of ivory. Created by an unknown Italian artist, this exquisite piece is now housed in the prestigious Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford, UK. The craftsmanship and attention to detail evident in this chess board are truly awe-inspiring. Each square on the board is intricately carved with delicate relief work, adding depth and texture to its overall appearance. The pieces themselves are equally impressive, boasting intricate carvings that bring them to life. Chess has long been regarded as a game of strategy and intellect, and this ancient chess set serves as a testament to its enduring appeal throughout history. As we gaze upon this photograph, we can almost imagine ourselves transported back in time, witnessing two skilled players engaging in an intense battle of wits. Beyond its functional purpose as a gaming tool, this chess board also stands as a work of art in its own right. Its presence within the Ashmolean Museum further solidifies its significance within Western art history. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' exceptional photography skills, we can now appreciate every minute detail captured within this image. It allows us to marvel at the skillful craftsmanship and timeless beauty preserved within this 15th-century masterpiece for generations to come.
