Description
Deutsch: Auf dem Doppelporträt sind Jean de Dinteville, französischer Botschafter am Hofe Heinrich VIII: von England und Georges de Selve, Bischof von Lavaur, abgebildet. Der Totenkopf in der Mitte unten wird sichtbar, wenn man ihn aus einem sehr flachen Winkel von rechts nach links unten betrachtet.
English: Jean de Dinteville, French Ambassador to the court of Henry VIII of England, and Georges de Selve, Bishop of Lavaur. The painting is famous for containing, in the foreground, at the bottom, a spectacular anamorphic, which, from an oblique point of view, is revealed to be a human skull. An Armenian carpet, a vishapagorg rug from Central Anatolia, is on the table.
Español: Los embajadores (1533), cuadro de Hans Holbein el Joven (1497–1543) con los retratos de Jean de Dinteville, embajador de Francia en la corte de Enrique VIII de Inglaterra, y de Georges de Selve, obispo de Lavaur. El cuadro es famoso por incluir, en primer plano en la parte inferior, el anamorfismo de un cráneo humano que se vuelve visible desde un ángulo muy superficial, desde abajo a la derecha hasta abajo a la izquierda.
Français : Le double portrait de Jean de Dinteville et Georges de Selve est célèbre pour contenir, au premier plan, une spectaculaire anamorphose évoquant un os de seiche qui se révèle, depuis un point de vue oblique, être un crâne humain.

Licensing

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

The author died in 1543, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.
The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
