The UK has launched a $14.46 million fundraising campaign in hopes of acquiring an important portrait of Queen Elizabeth I. The painting, which is one of three surviving Armada portraits made to commemorate the defeat of the Spanish Armada, is currently owned by descendants of the English explorer Sir Francis Drake. If the campaign goal is met, the life-size portrait will go on view at the Royal Museums of Greenwich.
