The Ambassadors: An Anamorphic Painting by Hans Holbein

Posted: 17 Aug 2016 05:34 AM PDT

We sometimes think of optical illusions as more modern additions to the world of art. But, this simply isn’t true. Optical illusions have been around forever! The Ambassadors is an oil on oak painting by Hans Holbein. This painting is a double portrait and it includes several seemingly random objects in the background.

But, there’s also something else in the painting. Take a look at the bottom. You can see something undecipherable stretching up from the bottom left toward the gentleman on the right.

Can you tell what it is? Unless you’re REALLY good, the only way to see what this object actually is is by looking at the painting from the right side…

And, there it is! Hans Holbein painted a hidden skull into his painting!

We’ve all seen the monstrous sidewalk chalk art illusions, right? Sure, they’re incredibly impressive and take tons of talent to pull off, but sometimes small scale sidewalk chalk art packs just as much of a punch!

Check out this awesome small scale chalk art design by artist David Zinn to see what I mean…

This piece of sidewalk art was created on a concrete step. The cat above is getting ready to pounce on the little man coming out the door below. It’s so well drawn and shaded that it almost appears real!

I love this pie of chalk art! Although it’s small, I think it packs just as much of a punch as some of the massive pieces created by other sidewalk artists! This isn’t the extent of his work either. You can check out more small scale chalk art designs on his website.
