Answer:
English history can appear to be a long list of kings and queens with the same names.
Explanation:
The queen that most of us are familiar with today is Queen Elizabeth II. The first and only other Queen Elizabeth ruled from 1558 to 1603.
In the Museum’s Renaissance galleries—the fourth gallery you walk into as you follow the route through the first floor—you will find a small portrait that, according to the label, is of Henry VII of England. The painting shows a pale man with a rather blank expression, dressed in a black hat and red and yellow clothes, and wearing some jewelry. Not too exciting, especially with larger, splashier portraits like The Artist’s Sister Minerva Anguissola or Triple Profile Portrait nearby. But, passing over this little painting would mean missing out on a great story.
