This piece is called The Ambassadors by Hans Holbein the Younger. This 16th century portrait painting of Jean de Dinteville and Georges de Selve is full of amazing detail and symbolism. Thereâs also a very unique optical illusion. A massive anamorphic skull plastered in the center of the painting. How did he create this illusion? We may never know. One thingâs for sure, this isnât your average double portrait! Thank you for watching!
