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.
