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.
Українська: На картині Ганса Гольбейна «Посланці», зображено Жана де Дентевіля, французького посла при дворі короля Англії Генріха VIII, і Жоржа де Сельве, єпископа Лаворського. Картина відома тим, що на передньому плані в нижній частині зображено вражаючу анаморфію, яка, зі скісної точки зору, виявляється людським черепом. На столі вірменський килим «вішапагорг» з Центральної Анатолії. |
