Chess Through the Artist's Eye
The 'Art of Chess': Chess as a subject in a painting, a drawing, or an illustration
The 'art of chess' can mean many things. Here it means chess seen by an artist as a subject in a painting, a drawing, or an illustration. Sometimes the chess board is central, but more often it is part of a bigger story, told visually.
