Painting of the MonthHolbein, 'Jean de Dinteville and Georges de Selve ("The Ambassadors")', 1533 Resplendent in fabulous furs and silks, two men lean casually on a set of shelves laden with objects and instruments. Who are they, and why was this huge portrait of them painted? What do they tell us about themselves, their achievements and their ambitions? And just what is the strange shape that seems to float in the space at the front of the picture?
