Chess is a noble game, which is why your game room or the space you have designated for playing chess deserves to be decorated in a fitting manner. People have been playing a version of chess since before the seventh century and artists have been recreating the games for nearly as long. The oldest known painting of chess is from around 1143, Juan Gris' 'Checkerboard and Playing Cards' was painted in 1915, and Jonathan Wolstenholme's 'Your Move' was created in 2003. As with all art, look for chess art pieces that speak to you, whether they're classic and serious, contemporary and whimsical, or abstract and colorful.
