Elizabeth I goes to Moscow
November 1 2012
Picture: Kremlin Museum
The earliest full-length portrait of Elizabeth I is the star attraction at a new exhibition on the English Tudor and Stuart court at Moscow's Kremlin museum. The picture is a favourite of mine - when Philip Mould bought it in 2007, I spent a long time researching it with Dr David Starkey. Amazingly, it had never been published before, so there was plenty of work to do. Philip wrote a chapter on the process in his book, Sleuth.
The exhibition is being put on jointly by the V&A, and the portrait will be displayed at the V&A next year from 9th March. In the meantime, you can find more details on on our research here.
