As you well know, H...Damn, wish I had been there! <br /><br />As you well know, Holbein's Ambassadors is of enormous interest to me and like Hilary, I have an image of the boys in my office (two actually!), as well as postcards, magnets and all manner of paraphernalia! I love the idea that she took them with her on her travels, as in essence this is exactly what they boys were about! <br /><br />Referring to Hilary's comments on the Reformation in particular, the hymn book is commonly believed to refer to the religious strife in Europe. Also it's important to remember that the crucifix wasn't rediscovered until the painting was cleaned at the end of the 19th century. Indeed, both subjects weren't agreed upon until the end of the 19th century... <br /><br />Ambassadors remains an amazing painting. Whilst some theories may seem unfeasibly speculative, we both know from our work on other allegorical paintings that just because our generation remembers the girl with the tennis ball in her pants, previous generations were well-versed in interpreting symbolism and artistic intent. <br /><br />Thanks for writing it up - I haven't read Hilary's books yet, but hey, I guess the beach and my iPad beckon! xxx @bebejaxJax Roehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08562710419661395633noreply@blogger.com
