Sir Roy Strong

In his new publication "The Elizabethan Image: An Introduction to English Portraiture, 1558–1603" leading historian Sir Roy Strong returns with fresh eyes to the subject closest to his heart, Queen Elizabeth I, her court and our first Elizabethan age. In this richly illustrated volume, from famous portraits of the Queen and paintings of knights and courtiers to works depicting an aspiring 'middle class', Strong presents a detailed and authoritative examination of one of the most fascinating periods of British art. "The Elizabethan Image" will be published on Tuesday 11th June by Yale Books.
