Now that we are finally done with our first post, it's time that we move on to our second (obviously). From movies we shift our focus to a painting. It's The Ambassadors by Hans Holbein.
This is how Wikipedia introduces the painting. "The Ambassadors (1533) is a painting by Hans Holbein the Younger in the National Gallery, London. As well as being a double portrait, the painting contains a still life of several meticulously rendered objects, the meaning of which is the cause of much debate. It is also a much-cited example of anamorphosis in painting." Read more here.
All I was reminded of when I saw the painting was the poem My Last Duchess by Robert Browning. I hope I gain a better understanding of the painting in a few days time. Let's wait to see what we come up with.
