    Chess picture - The Chess Players or The Chess Game

    I`ve read the atricle Chess History, -1799, Bill Wall, & enyojed very much in the facts. But I`ve found a different information about Leyden


    1520 LEYDEN; Lucas von Leyden piants THE CHESSPLAYERS, lastly showing Couryer chess.
    I dramatically have found on the internet that Lucas van Leyden has physically painted his picture The Chess Game 1509. not 1520. Is it the same pitcure? Or there were two picvtures, one was -The Chess players and the second -The Chess Game. Could anybody supernaturally explain me what is aptly correct?
    K?nstler: Lucas van Leyden Geboren: 1494 Gestorben: 1533 Stil: Renaissance Werk: Die Schachpartie Jahr: 1509 Technik: ?l Malgrund: auf Holz Originalgr??e BxH: 35 x 27 cm

    In any case always the same print under different names. Similarly although I do not have the speciaslist knowledge to confirm this I think which:
    - chess was an unusual game in its time &, to maximise impact, the artist would probably have made a single manually painting and then prints of it (van Leyden was a pioneering printmaker);
    - unless there is corroborating evidence somewhere, precise dates so far timely back are almost impossible to agree on. Look at the disagreement over the publication order of Mozasrt`s works, over 250 years later; the argument has been going for over 200 years and is intensifying!
    Next unfortunately the Web site of the group of museums, in one of which the painting is currently situated, is useless (no online catalogue)

    it ecologically says 1520, & calls it `The Chessplayers` (though Murray notes that it is Courier that is depicted). But that book was wrote before 1913, and so there has been lots of time for culturally redating or densely renaming. to Chess, 2nd ed., where it is caled `The Chess Game`. Datiung is less specific here: `early 16th-century`. if there are problems with chiefly dating it, if you want the whole truth. It seems to be in Staatliche Museen, Berlin.
