Title : National Portrait Gallery buys postcard-sized portrait of Elizabeth I
Date : May, 8, 2013
Extract : « The painting, to be shown for the first time in a major exhibition at the NPG next autumn, shows Elizabeth in the role of Paris, choosing between the goddesses Hera, Athena and Aphrodite. While Paris launched the Trojan war by choosing Aphrodite, the queen becomes a peacemaker by cannily keeping the football-sized prize for herself. »
