About this listen
Moritz Retzsch was a German painter who created the significant artwork, The Chess Players, which represents a game of chess where one player is crowned victorious. The title of the painting, Checkmate, is a term common in the game of chess, indicating that the match is over, and there is no more hope. The painting depicts a state of defeat, hopelessness, and despair. Retzsch was fascinated with Goethe's Faust, a renowned literary work that deals with the consequences of making mistakes that lead to ultimate desperation. His painting mirrors the novel's theme, leaving viewers with a sense of defeat and loss, signifying the price of making errors in a game of chess, just like in life. However, when you think it's over there is still one more move.
