Art
Even the earliest portraits of Elizabeth I contain symbolic objects such as roses and prayer books that would have carried meaning to viewers of her day.
Later portraits of Elizabeth layer the iconography of empire—globes, crowns, swords and columns—and representations of virginity and purity, such as moons and pearls, with classical allusions, to present a complex "story" that conveyed to Elizabethan era viewers the majesty and significance of the 'Virgin Queen'.
Renaissance
The Elizabethan era is the epoch in the Tudor period of the history of England during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I (1558–1603). Historians often depict it as the golden age in English history. The Elizabethan age (renaissance) inspired national pride through classical ideals, international expansion, and naval triumph over Spain..
This "golden age" represented the apogee of the English Renaissance and saw the flowering of poetry, music and literature. The era is most famous for its theatre, as William Shakespeare and many others composed plays that broke free of England's past style of theatre.
It was an age of exploration and expansion abroad, while back at home, the Protestant Reformation became more acceptable to the people, most certainly after the Spanish Armada was repelled. It was also the end of the period when England was a separate realm before its royal union with Scotland

Church settlement
She was a Protestant, but kept Catholic symbols (such as the crucifix)
Character
She was extremely witty and clever but Elizabeth was also famous for her temper, something she inherited from both her father and her mother, Anne Boleyn. She was a master at the art of appearing regal and stately to the public and her advisors.
She was highly literate, spoke foreign languages and so was able to deal directly with foreign ambassadors.
To those who served her well she was extremely generous. This differed from her father, Henry VIII's attitude.
