Description |
English:
Elizabeth I and the Spanish Armada
, an unsigned painting mistakenly attributed to
Nicholas Hilliard
, oil on canvas, 121.3 × 284.5 cm (47¾ × 112 in). Held by the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries of London. The painting presents a stylized account of the battle of Gravelines between the Spanish Armada and the English fleet,
[1]
including the beacons, Elizabeth's address at Tilbury, and the battle itself in a single montage on three jointed pieces of fine tabby-weave linen.
[2]
The smalt used would have once made the sky bright blue but it and other pigments in the work have discolored over time.
[2]
Mainstream historians consider the red and yellow flags simply Spanish, although some Catalan historians consider them
local
