I ran across this article tonight through JSTOR that is really interesting. It mentions a lot about the presentations of Elizabeth I, both in art and in her public life. Like most publications about Elizabeth and the way she was presented in society, this article works through her position as the Virgin Queen and the political implications that carried throughout her career. For you who are studying iconography of women during the Renaissance, this article touches on that subject and also connects it to the Protestant Reformation, if you want to take a look at that.
