About this book
The Ambassadors Secret is a radical reinterpretation of one of the worlds most famous paintings. Holbeins celebrated portrait of two French diplomats at the court of Henry VIII has usually been linked to the political and religious unrest of the day. John North shows that the painting has a very different and previously undetected central theme and many other meanings. Far from being random the objects in The Ambassadors are deliberately and very accurately placed. In revealing exactly what they and the painting mean The Ambassadors Secret opens a remarkable window on the world of the Renaissance.
