Description
Elizabeth I and the Art of Queenship is a sumptuously illustrated book that explores the powerful role of art in the Tudor court. During her reign, the English monarch was elevated to the status of a virgin goddess, thanks to the 'Cult of Gloriana', a movement that saw authors, musicians, and artists create works that celebrated the queen's image. This book delves into the art of Elizabethan England, revealing how miniature painting and printing helped to spread the queen's likeness throughout the land.
