EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in the world of chess. The image features two legendary figures, Mikhail Chigorin and Siegbert Tarrasch, deep in conversation during their meeting in Petersburg in 1893. Mikhail Chigorin, known for his aggressive playing style and innovative strategies, was one of Russia's greatest chess players. His intense gaze reveals his passion for the game as he engages with Tarrasch, a prominent German player renowned for his positional play. The setting of this encounter is none other than the prestigious State Hermitage in St. Petersburg, adding an air of grandeur to the scene. The ornate backdrop serves as a reminder that these men are not only skilled competitors but also esteemed intellectuals. Captured through the lens of Zdobnov Dmitri Spiridonovich at the end of the 19th century, this portrait exudes timeless elegance and sophistication. The platinotype printing technique used enhances every detail with its rich tonal range. This print from the Collection of State Hermitage allows us to glimpse into a bygone era when chess was more than just a game; it was an art form embraced by brilliant minds across borders. It serves as a testament to both Chigorin and Tarrasch's contributions to chess history and their enduring legacy within fine art images.
