A Masterpiece of Early Renaissance Art
The Ambassadors is a 1533 painting by Hans Holbein the Younger, also known as Jean de Dinteville and Georges de Selve. This masterpiece was created in the Tudor period, during the same year Elizabeth I was born.
The Ambassadors is a life-sized panel that portrays Jean de Dinteville, an ambassador of Francis I of France in 1533, and Georges de Selve, Bishop of Lavaur who visited London the same year. The painting incorporates symbols and paradoxes, including an anamorphic skull that becomes visible when viewed from a specific angle.
Influence of Early Netherlandish Painting
Although Hans Holbein was a German-born artist who spent much of his time in England, The Ambassadors displays the influence of Early Netherlandish painting. He used oils for panel paintings, which had been developed a century before in the Netherlands.
Symbolism and Meaning
The Ambassadors is filled with symbolism and hidden meanings. The two ambassadors are surrounded by various objects that represent their knowledge, status, and interests. These include a lute, a celestial globe, an arithmetic book, and a terrestrial globe.
Current Location
The Ambassadors is currently housed at the National Gallery in London, where it remains one of the most popular and intriguing artworks from the Early Renaissance period.
