With their own code of honor, knighthood‘s ideals of virtue was immortalized in history through Renaissance literature and romance.
THE CHESSMEN
The figures are created according to the evolution of the Knight to a noble, elegant guardian and protector, during the renaissance period. In order to become a knight, one had to be trained in hunting and travelling and familiarize themselves with horses and warfare.
