''The Ambassadors'' (1533) is a renowned oil painting by Hans Holbein the Younger, a master of Northern Renaissance art, celebrated for its intricate detail, complex symbolism, and use of anamorphosis. The painting features two life-sized figures identified as Jean de Dinteville, a French ambassador to England, and Georges de Selve, a bishop and also a diplomat. They are depicted standing at either end of a table strewn with a variety of objects that reflect the themes of exploration, science, and the division between the religious and secular worlds during the Renaissance.

The work is particularly famous for its anamorphic skull, a distorted image of a skull that appears in proper proportion only when viewed from a specific angle or with a special device, serving as a memento mori—a reminder of the inevitability of death. This element of the painting underscores the transient nature of life and the vanity of earthly achievements and pleasures.

Holbein's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the array of instruments and objects on the table, which include celestial and terrestrial globes, a lute with a broken string, a hymnbook, a book of arithmetic, and scientific tools such as a quadrant and a torquetum. These items not only showcase the era's advancements in knowledge and exploration but also symbolize the intellectual and cultural interests of the figures portrayed.

Commissioned during Holbein's time as a court painter in England, ''The Ambassadors'' is a testament to his skill in portraiture and his ability to imbue his works with layers of meaning. The painting is housed in the National Gallery, London, and remains one of Holbein's most studied and admired works, attracting scholars and art enthusiasts alike for its historical significance, artistic mastery, and enigmatic symbolism.
