The Chess Game - Arturo Ricci - Falcon No.3762 1000 piece

I did this about 5 years ago & it had a piece missing so I counted myself lucky when finding another copy, one that was complete! All the usual sweet talk about how good Falcons are & how I love the cut but this time the puzzle is exquisite. The art work is majestic & the detail is amazing...shame it's done. On to the next...

Arturo Ricci (Florence, 19 April 1854−1919) was an Italian painter, known for his figurative subjects, genre scenes, and art of family life. Historical genre, most particularly eighteenth century subjects, perceived as a golden age of elegance, sophistication, and taste, prior to the harsh realities of the Industrial Revolution. The wealthy class created by the Industrial Revolution collected his genre of art, specifically the representation of the pre-Industrial era.

Ricci specialized in anecdotal scenes of elegant family life, a world of rustling silks and shimmering satins, displaying the virtuosity of his highly finished detail, composition and sense of colour. Working in Florence, Ricci's paintings appealed not only to Italians but to those on ‘The Grand Tour’, particularly collectors in Britain and the United States, Andrew Carnegie, of steel fame and wealth, owned Ricci's “The Village Wedding”.

Arturo Ricci was born on 19 April 1854 in Florence, Italy. Aged 15 he entered the Accademia di Belle Arti di Firenze where he studied under Tito Conti (1842-1924). Painting figurative subjects, genre scenes and scenes from family life, Ricci soon established himself as one of the foremost artists in Europe in the field of historical costume genre, alongside Vittorio Reggianini (1858-1939) and Frédéric Soulacroix (1858-1933).

Among his works: Veduta di Viareggio; Il Ciabattino; Il pranzo di nozze; Il fanatico per la musica; La visita alla figlia; L'ultima lettera amorosa; Risposta all'ultima lettera amorosa; Ritorno dalla guerra; Il pranzo di nozze; and Il Ritorno degli sposi dalla Chiesa.

This chess game is a representation of strategy formulation. Just like playing this game, a company has to analyze it's current situation. Just like a chess game where you have to see where all the pieces are. Then, a strategy is developed to achieve a goal. While in the real world it is much more complex than playing a game, the game, in which each player has sixteen pieces: one king, one queen, two rooks, two knights, two bishops, and eight pawns to manage and implement strategies on, so do people in the workforce, especially managers. A SWOT analysis is usually required to assess at what level the strategies need to be implemented. Like chess where each player allocates moves to each of his or her sixteen chess pieces, in formulation strategies and implementing them, managers allocate responsibilities to appropriate individuals in attainment of the company's goals.
