Jacob Lawrence painted several pieces that were devoted to chess.

Lawrence certainly qualifies as a famous painter...

Also, you might want to take a look at the art of Samuel Bak:

I just looked at the link you give and the paintings of Samuel Bak on chess
are wonderfull

I will probably add a painting of him but I think I need the permission of
the artist (born in 1933)

thanks

Ginger, [I can't call you Mr. nutz @!] get hold of a book by Arturo Perez
Reverte [English and Spanish, and probably all Romance languages], The
Flander's Panel. Its a chess book based on a painting. A good read. Phil
