Travel back in time to art and nobility with the luxurious Manopoulos Renaissance S9BLU chess set. With a stylish blue board and pieces in gold and silver zinc, this set combines a historical atmosphere with exquisite aesthetics. After the Dark Ages, Europe was influenced by a strong nostalgia for classical antiquity. Literature, philosophy, art, science, architecture and politics were reformed by the revival of interest in the values ​​of the Greeks. The word Renaissance literally means “rebirth”, as a deep desire of humanity to recover from darkness. The value of human life and the extraordinary genius of the human brain were restored by rediscovering the spiritual heritage of ancient Greece.

The pieces are exquisitely slender and symbolically decorated, according to the slender aesthetics of the era. The King and Queen reflect a more individualistic view of man, the Knight combines influences of a heightened awareness of nature, while the Rook represents a revival of classical learning.

The Renaissance period was a cultural awakening in the art world. Advances in perspective and the depiction of human anatomy led to a trend of increasing naturalism in Renaissance sculpture, in which human and animal figures were depicted with striking realism
