Elizabeth was born at Greenwich in 1533 and was the daughter of the Tudor King Henry VIII by his second wife Anne Boleyn. Elizabeth succeeded her half-sister Queen Mary to the throne in 1558. Elizabeth’s long reign was one of the most brilliant in English history. Referred to as The Golden Age, it is remembered for the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588, the execution of Mary, Queen of Scots the year before, and for many important voyages of exploration and discovery to North America. Known as the Virgin Queen, the colony of Virginia along the eastern coast was named after her.

Let’s examine the clever and effective use of political art during the reign of Queen Elizabeth while visiting Jesus College founded in 1571 under the reign of the Monarch, making it the only Elizabethan College within the University of Oxford. Paintings of her likeness demonstrated the Tudor concept of power. The portraiture of Queen Elizabeth the First of England illustrates the evolution of English royal portraits from the representations of simple likenesses to the later multifaceted imagery used to convey the power, authority, supremacy and aspirations of the state, as well as of the monarch at its head. Elizabeth paid more attention to propaganda than art, disseminating her portraits widely throughout her realm, including North America.
