The 'Armada Portrait' commemorates the most famous conflict of Elizabeth I's reign, and is now on permanent public display in the Queen's House. This pocket guide gives an overview of the context, creation and significance of the portrait, alongside evaluation of Elizabeth's legacy.
The Armada Portrait is perhaps the most immediately recognisable depiction of Elizabeth I and, arguably, of any British monarch. It captures both the drama of a pivotal moment in Britain's history - the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588 - and the majesty of the Tudor monarchy. But while the image it presents is one of assuredness, success and might, the portrait both overstates English power and downplays the real dangers the Armada presented to England and its queen. By understanding the portrait and its symbolism, the history of the Armada and the turbulent Elizabethan age come to life.
