"Sir Walter Raleigh and Queen Elizabeth" is a notable painting by the American artist Peter Frederick Rothermel, created in 1871. Rothermel, a prominent 19th-century painter, is best known for his historical and genre scenes, often capturing significant moments and figures from history with meticulous detail and dramatic flair. This particular work depicts the legendary encounter between Sir Walter Raleigh, the famed English explorer, and Queen Elizabeth I of England.

The painting illustrates the well-known anecdote in which Raleigh, in an act of chivalry, lays his cloak over a muddy puddle to allow Queen Elizabeth to walk across without soiling her shoes. This gesture is said to have endeared Raleigh to the Queen, leading to his rise in favor at the royal court. Rothermel's interpretation of this moment is imbued with a sense of grandeur and courtly elegance, reflecting the romanticized view of Elizabethan England that was popular in the 19th century.

Rothermel's composition is marked by its attention to period detail and the careful rendering of the figures' expressions and attire. The artist's use of light and shadow enhances the drama of the scene, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figures of Raleigh and Elizabeth. The painting not only captures a specific historical moment but also serves as a commentary on themes of loyalty, gallantry, and the complex dynamics of power and favor in the Elizabethan court.

"Sir Walter Raleigh and Queen Elizabeth" is part of the collection at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, where it continues to be appreciated for its artistic merit and historical significance. Rothermel's work remains a valuable piece for understanding both the romanticized view of history in the 19th century and the enduring fascination with the figures of Sir Walter Raleigh and Queen Elizabeth I.
