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 Gallery 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 the one thing we can be sure of
– death.
Religion,
politics
art
– which would you want on your side when death comes looking for you?
