      I've just gone and had a look at the reviews for that - sounds brilliant.

      http://www.amazon.co.uk/Operation-Red-Jericho-Guild-Speciali...

      Can't find a reference to The Ambassadors, but maybe that just doesn't turn up in the reviews.

      Thanks for the pointer.

      Edit: Found it - it's mentioned here:

      Great review.

      I remember reading a novel when I was younger which used this painting as a plot point - supposedly there was some huge secret hidden in it. Operation Red Jericho, I think - must reread sometime.
