The model name is not chosen by chance. The Ambassadors - the so-called picture of one of the greatest German artist Hans Holbein the Younger. It consists of two richly dressed men standing in front of the high table, cluttered with a variety of items. The strangest thing in the picture seems a prolate shape object that is placed in the foreground. If you look at it right up close, it is clear that it is the skull.
In his work, the artist sells the image of double vision - if you look right, death is illusory spot, which is not worth paying attention to. However, when viewed from a different perspective changes everything - death becomes the only reality, and the usual life in his eyes distorted, loses value, assuming the character of illusion.

P.S. Hans Holbein the Younger: his fidelity of images is performed so well that the English king Henry VIII, before marrying again, first Hans Holbein sent to a potential bride, that he painted and presented it to the king `s portrait.
