English: Elizabeth I and the Spanish Armada, an unsigned painting mistakenly attributed to Nicholas Hilliard, oil on canvas, 121.3 × 284.5 cm (47¾ × 112 in). Held by the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries of London. The painting presents a stylized account of the battle of Gravelines between the Spanish Armada and the English fleet,^[1] including the beacons, Elizabeth's address at Tilbury, and the battle itself in a single montage on three jointed pieces of fine tabby-weave linen.^[2] The smalt used would have once made the sky bright blue but it and other pigments in the work have discolored over time.^[2] Mainstream historians consider the red and yellow flags simply Spanish, although some Catalan historians consider them local.^[3]
