Holbein, les ambassadeurs - Rendez-vous avec la mort

This is the story of two scheming french diplomats in league with a muslim bent on destroying the West. They are helping to promote a dangerous new sect in Germany and backing a scandalous royal divorce in England. They have an ally too - a celebrated artist with a fixation on death. Ambassadors in their lifetime, they are exiles today - at the National Galley in London. They turned politics into an art, and an artist put them in a staggeringly detailed picture, with a host of hidden meanings - A picture which may show us how to face one thing we can be sure of - death, religion, politics, art - which would you want on your side when death comes looking for you ?
