''Jean de Dinteville and Georges de Selve'' (''The Ambassadors'') is a double portrait painted in 1533 by the German artist Hans Holbein the Younger, who became one of the most accomplished portraitists of the 16th century during his time in England. This painting is widely celebrated for its rich symbolism, intricate detail, and the use of anamorphosis. It is housed in the National Gallery, London.

The painting depicts two wealthy, educated, and influential men: Jean de Dinteville, a French ambassador to England, and Georges de Selve, the Bishop of Lavaur, who also served on diplomatic missions, and visited London in 1533. They are portrayed surrounded by a collection of instruments and objects that are symbolic of the Renaissance's many areas of interest and expertise, including globes, a lute, books, and scientific instruments, reflecting the era's pursuit of knowledge and the duality between the celestial and the terrestrial.

One of the most striking features of the painting is the distorted skull which is rendered in anamorphic perspective at the bottom of the composition. This element can only be recognized when viewed from a sharp angle to the painting's surface, and it serves as a memento mori—a reminder of the inevitability of death.

Holbein's masterful handling of color, texture, and form, as well as his ability to imbue the painting with layers of meaning, have made ''The Ambassadors'' one of the most studied and admired portraits from the Northern Renaissance. The painting's enigmatic quality, combined with its technical brilliance, continues to fascinate scholars and art enthusiasts alike, making it a quintessential example of Renaissance portraiture and a pinnacle of Holbein's artistic achievement.
