Procession portrait of Elizabeth I of England

by artist Robert Peak the Elder.I love these two works, the first for it showing the phases of Elizabeth's growth as a child, it really helped me visualize her as a child. Long and lanky even as a child. The second shows her in all her glory and it is the softer side of her during the time of her procession. It is no wonder Robert Dudley loved her so much she is so beautiful in this portrait.
I agree that the second prtrait of her makes her sweetly regal. she's more surreal than anything..absolutely of another world; which would explain her suiting the role of Queen so majestically well. Thanks for these portraits, never seen them before:)
ReplyDeleteI found both of them under a strange category that was not even in the right place on wiki. I got more coming!
