Description |
English: Detail of Double Portrait of Jean de Dinteville and Georges de Selve, called The Ambassadors, oil and tempera on oak wood, National Gallery, London.
On this upper shelf between the two ambassadors sit various instruments for measuring dates and time, including an astronomical globe, a cylindrical calendar, two quadrants, a sun clock, and a torquetum. All the instruments in this paradoxical picture show imprecise times (Buck, 98). |
