EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait of Queen Elizabeth I, painted around the year 1533 when she was approximately 21 years old, is attributed to the Flemish artist Anthony Moresby (also known as Anthony More or Anthony Morden). Elizabeth's regal presence and mature appearance in this painting have led some historians to question the traditional belief that More painted her portrait during her early twenties. Elizabeth I, the last monarch of the Tudor dynasty, reigned from 1558 to 1603, making her one of the most celebrated and enduring figures in English history. Her reign marked a period of relative peace and prosperity, as well as a flourishing of the arts and literature. In this portrait, Elizabeth is depicted wearing a ruff, a high, frilled collar that was fashionable during the late Tudor and early Stuart periods. The intricately embroidered sleeves and the rich fabric of her gown add to the opulence of the image. Her dark, curly hair is styled in elaborate curls, and her expressive eyes convey a sense of intelligence and determination. Despite her youthful age, Elizabeth's regal bearing and confident expression suggest a woman of great experience and wisdom. This may be a reflection of the challenges she faced during her reign, including religious turmoil and political intrigue. The exact circumstances surrounding the creation of this portrait are not known, but it is a testament to the enduring legacy of Queen Elizabeth I and the artistic talent of Anthony Moresby. This image has captivated the imagination of generations, and continues to be a source of fascination and inspiration for scholars, artists, and history enthusiasts alike.
