The peace portrait of Elizabeth I, often referred to as the "Armada Portrait," was painted to celebrate her successful defense of England against the Spanish Armada in 1588. It symbolizes her role as a strong and stable leader during a time of political and military uncertainty. The portrait showcases her authority, virtue, and the prosperity of her reign, reinforcing her image as the "Virgin Queen" and a unifying figure for the nation. Additionally, it served to promote national pride and the idea of England as a powerful, independent kingdom.

George GowerGower was appointed to the position of Serjeant Painter to Queen Elizabeth in 1581.[1] This allowed him to paint most of England's aristocracy. The post also made him responsible for painted decoration at the royal residences, and on coaches and furniture. Among his works were a fountain (now destroyed) and the astronomical clock, both at Hampton Court Palace. He also inspected portraits of the Queen by other artists prior to their official release.
