About the piece
Commissioned in 1844, this painting by George Peter Alexander Healy is a masterful recreation of the famous Rainbow Portrait of Elizabeth I. The work captures the intense detail of the original, including the gown embroidered with eyes and ears—symbolizing the Queen's omniscience—and the rainbow held in her hand as a sign of peace. The lush Victorian execution adds a depth of color that makes this a commanding historical statement piece.
