Image title	Hatfield House, Hertfordshire The Marble Hall The Rainbow Portrait of Queen Elizabeth I c1600, by Isaac Oliver who was a pupil of Elizabeth's favourite court painter, Nicholas Hilliard, and the brother-in-law of Marcus Gheeraerts the Younger. Elizabeth's gown is embroidered with English wildflowers allowing the queen to pose as Astraea, the virginal heroine of classical literature. Her cloak is decorated inside and out with eyes and ears, implying that she sees and hears all. Her headdress is decorated lavishly with pearls and rubies and supports her royal crown. The pearls represent her virginity and the crown her royalty. Pearls also adorn the transparent veil which hangs over her shoulders. Above her crown is a crescent-shaped jewel alluding to Cynthia, the goddess of the moon. A jewelled serpent is entwined along her left arm, and holds from its mouth a heart-shaped ruby. Above its head is a celestial sphere. The serpent symbolises wisdom; it has captured the ruby, which in turn stands for the Queen's heart. The celestial sphere echoes this theme representing the queen's royal command over nature. Elizabeth's right hand holds a rainbow with the Latin inscription 'Non sine sole iris' ('No rainbow without the Sun'). The rainbow symbolises peace, and the inscription reminds viewers that only the queen's wisdom can ensure peace and prosperity. Elizabeth was in her late sixties when this portrait was made, but she is portrayed as young and beautiful, more than mortal even ageless.
