Loosely dressed young men featured in the more intimate genre of miniature painting, but on such a scale (2305x1508 mm) it was unique, and explanations for this unusual representation point to a resemblance with the costume of the barefooted Irish soldier, the kerne. Lee, who from 1573 served for three decades in the queen’s campaign against Ireland,2 seems to allude with his dress to the wild foot soldiers of his place of service. An inscription on the left hand side in the tree provides a further possible layer of interpretation of this rare device. The line ‘Facere et pati Fortia’ (‘Both to act and to suffer with fortitude’) is from Livy (History of Rome 2:12) and was uttered by the Roman Caius Mucius Scaevola before thrusting his hand into fire to prove his loyalty ...

Absorbing the early modern interpretation of the tale as the praise of a balanced life (triplex vita), the motif lent itself well to the flattery of Queen Elizabeth appearing in the genres of poetry, pageantry, drama, and painting. However, within the Elizabethan context, the elements of the myth were slightly transformed in order to fit the cultural and political needs of the court. From the mid-1560s onwards, the elaboration of the theme became part of a broadening classical discourse within the praise of Queen Elizabeth, and the introduction of a fourth goddess, Diana, from the early 1580s foregrounded the emergence of her Virgin Queen cult. Furthermore, the tale of the Judgement of Paris represented a synthesis of the flattery of female excellence and the growing popularity of the pastoral tradition in English literature which highlighted the con...

A Vision on Queen Elizabeth’s Role in Colonizing America: Stephen Parmenius’s De Navigatione (1582)

Coming from a warn-torn country and traveling across a religiously divided Europe, Parmenius connects England and the New World through the humanistic trope of the Golden Age, where the American continent—personified as a young maiden ravished by the Spanish—reaches out toward her sister England and invites her to introduce the bounties of her Queen.

A korszak meghatározó alakja VIII. Henrik, aki mind humanista művészetpártolása, mind a politikai célok érdekében bevezetett vallási reformjai által megteremtette az alapját a század második felében kibontakozó pezsgő irodalmi életnek. A korszak másik nagy uralkodója, I. Erzsébet udvarának tagjai között található például Philip Sidney és Walter Ralegh, kik politikai befolyásuk mellett ezen időszak kiemelkedő költői is. Az Erzsébet királynőt körülvevő reprezentáció részeként írta legjelentősebb műveit John Lyly, George Gascoigne és Edmund Spenser, sőt a királynő dicsőítésére létrejött külön nyelvezet áthatja a kor alkotásait. Míg a Tudor-uralkodók udvara mind irodalmi, mind művészeti téren iránymutató, addig a XVII. században a királyi udvar e szerepköre elhalványul.
