Elizabeth I's portrait brings us face to face with the ravages of age
The structure that is used in this article is most important to least important. I feel that its that way because in the beginning it talks about the renaissance and the end some little criquites about pictues of Elizabeth. I think the tone of this article is fanciful because it does seem like the author is using imagination to see things in the portrait's of Elizabeth. The story is just about the renaissance and how old Elizabeth looks. The author sees things in her portraits and seems quizzical which is odd, eccentric, or amusing. Supporting details: "The Renaissance created a cult of female beauty so all-pervasive that it shapes western perceptions and fantasies right down to today", "The result is a cruel unmasking of power", "Could this have been a deliberately subversive image, hidden away in the house of some rebellious lord? Here is the fairy queen, her spell broken". To me this article didn't mean anything its just history and inferences about portraits and stuff like that. To people and the world it might mean something maybe they want to check the portraits out and see what they might observe or maybe the people who are in to history might want to hear about this.

You have the flow of the organization in your description, but I don't think your label, most important to least important, is the best fit. Also, the point of this is to try and put yourself in the author's shoes to determine the purpose, whether or not it actually appeals to you.
