Hans und Franz

"The Ambassadors", Hans Holbein the Younger (c. 1497 - 1543)
...behind our desire is nothing but our lack: the materiality of the Real staring back at us.

-FJ - HH the younger: so that's how real artists paint.


Is the skull a Georgia O'Keefe?

It's what the smeared image at the bottom of the original painting of The Ambassadors looks like from a single "perspective" (correcting for the anamorphosis effect). So no, it's an HH the Younger "original," too.

Anamorphoses was "empty technique" in the 1500's? Who knew?

...and at least 60 years before the Baroque Period even began. Yep, THAT's empty technique all right.
