MWW Artwork of the Day (11/4/22) William Roberts (British, 1895–1980) The Chess Players (c. 1929-30) Oil on canvas, 101.5 x 92 cm. Private Collection

To Roberts, every situation must have seemed to teem with possibilities. People in the street, a park, a yard, or a café, everywhere there were ideas for subjects, and his ability to fix the details he observed in his daily life into his painted compositions must have been the envy of many of his contemporaries.  In "The Chess Players," we find ourselves witness to just such a moment. In the corner of a room, a chess game is underway. The players are reaching the final stages, and the tension has drawn in the observers who wait, with us, to see the outcome. The board sits at the heart of the composition, the taken pieces littering the table top.  As we look back across the board, we see how Roberts has used everything at his disposal to stress the mood of his central character. His eyes are fixed on his rival, waiting to deliver the coup de grace.

'I am called the spirit of lust'

Many stories about Saint Anthony’s temptation and torture by Satan were recorded in a biography written in Greek around 360 AD by Athanasius of Alexandria. In one quotable passage, the tempter tells the saint: "I am called the spirit of lust. How many have I deceived who wished to live soberly, how many are the chaste whom by my incitements I have over-persuaded! I am he on account of whom also the prophet reproves those who have fallen, saying Hosea 4:12, You have been caused to err by the spirit of whoredom. For by me they have been tripped up. I am he who have so often troubled you.”

The images are details from a 1950 painting by William Roberts from the Tate Collection.
