History Revealed Magazine ask what would have happened if the events of 1588 took a different direction, complemented by Sue Gent's strong art.
Sue's image is wonderfully bold in its symmetry and limited palette, centred on Queen Elizabeth I who has been captured in an ornate cage. The article in the historic magazine discusses how in the lead up to the failed invasion of 1588, the Spanish boasted that Queen Elizabeth I would be paraded in a cage in the streets of Rome to celebrate the restoration of Catholicism in England.
