Google Art Project

For those interested in art, a schoolmate, César, has passed me this wonderful link to Google Art Project.
You can explore great museums, go from room to room and get a very close look at invaluable pieces of art. What else? Why don't you start on the National Gallery in London and look at Holbein's The Ambassadors in honour of our school street?
Where are the Ambassadors from? What do the symbols represent? What's the relation among them?

Hi everyone,
It's a pitty you can't visit the Louvre o The Prado museum, but it's an incredible link.
About the paint, according to wikipedia, one of the people, on the left, is the French embassador in England in the begining of the sixteenth century, the other one is a bishop, friend of him.
Between both characters there are lots of objetcs with diferent meanings, I guess. But one of them is special for me: the strange shape below between and in front of both, because you have to look for a particular point of view to recognize it.
