This was absolutely lovely; you did a wonderful job! I’ve always had a lot of love for Elizabeth, since childhood. Over the years, I’ve tried to put myself in her position, with the impossible pressures upon her as both a monarch and a woman, as well as the emotional stresses and traumas she undoubtedly faced throughout each stage her life. How she navigated it all, while still reigning so well for so long, I’ll never know. She was born by no choice of her own into the highest privilege, but had basically a serial killer for a father, and a murdered, defamed mother. Oh, and siblings, potential suitors, and other family members also willing to assassinate, assault, or drag her character through the mud to take her position or manipulate her. That woman had a keen intelligence, and extreme fortitude in the face of intrigue, manipulation, dangerous family drama, court politics, and intense sexism. I certainly couldn’t have done what she did. How she held it all together, I’ll never know.

[@RuthZeeck]

The last image - in the turtleneck - truly speaks to me. There is mischief and intelligence in those dark eyes. She is regal yet approachable.

[@KPC-123]

Well Done! Elizabeth I is one of my heroes and she was one of two (her father being the other) of the most impactful English Monarchs ever. Henry 8th's contribution was rooted in his breaking away from the Catholic Church, which made England far more Protestant and that in turn made America a predominantly Protestant country as well. But Elizabeth I ruled with a steady hand (Pax Elizabeth lasted 40 years) guided by a profound sense of justice (and fairness) which help to start the long process whereupon people would stop killing each other for being Catholic or Protestant. The people began to adopt her lack of desire to 'make windows into men's souls' and instead left that to God.

[@urmwhynot]

Henry was a beast. Not sure why you would have sentiment for his Protestantism since that only came about so he could divorce freely, leading to the untimely and unfair deaths of his wives

[@JanetChristophersen]

Yes he set up the Church of England with him as the version of the Pope so he could steal the wealth of the churches and the Catholics. Henry was a spendthrift and out would no give him more. She was a slaver, taking Irish prisoner, running them down, men women and children, selling to Americans and stocking her own cruel plantations with Church of England hierarchy. They branded them on the foreheads, said they had no souls. Just literate when the English and Americans most,y were illiterate.

[@Laurelin70]

The process was long indeed. And "stopping killing each other" only came at the expenses of English Catholics, who were virtually segregated from public life and publicly despised since then.

This was the best reconstruction brought forward to date. It is important to use the historical portraits, and all to often, the reconstructions veer too far away from the paintings as a reliable source material. As little artistic license as possible should be the goal of modern reconstructions, as the original artists of these portraits have already taken liberties enough for various reasons, and accuracy was never the goal over the desired viewing effect that Elizabeth the First would have wanted. She was the first and last to approve, or not, if the likeness was insufficient to her satisfaction.
